Hello my almond butter loving friends. If you're new to HEAB, you may like to subscribe to my RSS feed or receive my posts via email. Thanks for reading!
Last week, I was fortunate enough to receive some goodies from the fine folks at Briden Wilson Farm, a family owned and operated almond farm in the north-central valley of California.
Loved the handwritten note - how's that for customer service?
Upon delivery, I immediately opened the jar of creamy almond butter, inhaling the aroma of fresh roasted almonds. The best (& only) way to truly judge any almond butter is with a spoon straight from the jar.
Watch out Maranatha!
Afterwards, there was more taste testing…had to make sure it was good. The things I do for my HEABers. 
Green oat topper - yep, this spoonful was yummy.
Hmm, not 100% sure yet. Better keep trying…
Stirred in my blueberry smoothie...OK, so this combo worked.
Now, for the ultimate test…
Oat bran in the jar.
My review? This almond butter is excellent in every way. According to Tom, owner of Briden Wilson Farm, the ingredients are nothing but dry roasted premium Carmel almonds, not the leftover pieces like most large companies use. My only complaint is that the jar was not big enough to hold all my oat bran.
As far as the raw almonds go, perfectly crunchy and slightly sweet, everything a raw almond should be.
Now, I’ll be honest, I was a bit hesitant to try the Wasabi Roasted Almonds as they contained both sugar and artificial ingredients. But, because I wanted to include them in this review, I decided on a small handful:
Just a few, right?
Well, then all hell broke loose, and I was eating these babies on everything. They are the perfect combo of sweet and savory, and not too hot. HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!
Really y'all, I could not stop eating these.
Above was my favorite wasabi almond dish. Using Chocolate Covered Katie’s recipe, I made a veggie stir-fry and topped it with lots and lots of wasabi love.
Thanks again to Tom and Rebecca at Briden Wilson Farm for allowing me to review your wonderful products…but please, don’t send anymore more Wasabi almonds! 
Now, for the best part – Tom has graciously agreed to send one lucky HEABer their very own jar of Briden Wilson Farm’s creamy roasted almond butter. All you have to do is click here to visit the company’s website, and then list in the comments below either one of their recipes you’d like to try or a health-related almond fact. You have until midnight, tomorrow night (Tuesday, July 14 – Happy Bastille Day!), and I will announce the random winner on Wednesday. Trust me, you want to win this one!
All gone.

This stuff looks fabulous and this giveaway just made my Monday MUCH better! I would def want to try their oatmeal bars as Josh and I are a HUGE fan of Tina’s Oatmeal bars. Hope you have a good day Heather!

I am TOTALLY out of almond butter and need some asap! I just can’t buy anymore until I get through some of my pb jars, but I need it!
I love that they have a recipe to make your own almond milk! and those cookie bars? yum.
You know me! I love my almond butter and this stuff looks so fresh, I would love to try it?
Hmm… random almond health fact? Almonds are healthy for the heart? lol how about a handful of almonds a day keeps the dr away?
The oatmeal bars look delish! I would love to try those.
I think the East Indian Rice Palou sounds quite yummy!!
That almond butter looks delicious! It wouldn’t last long in my house.
Those beautiful almonds would inspire me to make homemade almond milk. Now, all I need is a nut bag . . .
So many great recipes but i’d just love to try it plain…sitting at the window shelf with a spoon and jar, looking at the neighboring houses and enjoying the delicious magic jar. Yum! (Though I think it’s better if the jar is sent to someone in the States because the postage to Europe might be more expensive than the jar itself;))
Ooh, the Oatmeal Bars. Almond butter? Oatmeal? I’m pretty much sold!
Yum!! I would like to try the Greek spinach salad. That looks great plus and minus a few ingredients
~Justine
My husband had a heart attack last September and at the cardio rehab they could not stress enough that we should be eating approx 12 almonds a day for heart health
We have grown to absolutely love them. However, we haven’t yet tried almond butter!

Who knew almonds were so good at lowering cholesterol? Move over Cheerios!
Mmm The toffee bars sound delicious and simple!
Flavonoids found in the skin of almonds doubles their antioxidant power! Hope i win this one: that almond butter looks delicious and i love the shape of the jar (great future oatmeal bowl)! Thanks Heather and Briden Wilson Farm!
I Love slivered almonds in my frozen yogurt, that’s how my infatuation started. Did you know that most Almonds are made in CA? And that they are considered one of the most healthiest sources of E…
I love oatmeal and almonds sign me up!
I am going to have to go for the East Indian Rice Palou.
The “oatmeal bar” title had promise until I saw the corn syrup.
The baklava looks awesome.
The oatmeal bars sound delicious!! I love bars of any kind so that would be awesome (: Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!
Oh my, the AB sure looks DANG GOOD to me
As for the recipe, the East Indian Rice Palou is bookmarked … just hoping that my mum will see it someday and make it for me, haha!
I LOVE baklava, but I’ve never made it myself! I want to try out that recipe. Thanks for the contest!
Thanks for trying it out for us!
It looks delicious. But it’s almond butter, so thats almost a given!! I would, of course, loveee to try it!
The Cranberry Almond salad recipe is calling my name.
hi heather! amazingly wonderful giveaway! i would love to try making the almond milk! i think thats so neat, thankyou so much for this opportunity!
I am thinking I’d make just good old almond milk. Yum.
Hey Heather! I would love to make the Cranberry-Almond Salad. The addition of the onion-garlic almonds sounds amazing, and they would be a first for me.
I hope I get to try the creamy roasted almond butter…I have become an almond butter fanatic and have to have it every day!
Have a great day!
Dayna
I’ve never had almond milk, but I bet trying my own (instead of a store-bought brand) would be an awesome way to taste it for the first time! Their recipe has vanilla and honey in it, and sounds goooood!!
Very cool giveaway!
Alright Heather, as if you didn’t have me excited enough with the coconut kefir, I am now downright giddy about this AB! It looks divine (and I love the different shape of the jar as seen on their website). Anyways, after navigating around their website I saw that they had a recipe for homemade almond milk that is made with honey which sounded way too good to be true. Now I know it is not a recipe that involves the use of AB but then again, who needs a recipe to use AB in when you got a spoon!
The almond milk recipe looks so simple! I’m going to have to try that…
The cranberry almond salad looks like it would be SO delicious! Thanks for the opportunity!
great giveaway for almond lovers!!!
I read through their recipes and all seem worth trying but the one that I’ll definitely try it is this almond milk recipe
Almond Milk
Ingredients:
1 cup natural raw almonds
3 cups water
1 tsp. honey
1/8 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions: Add water, almonds, honey and vanilla to blender. Blend at low speed for one minute; then process at high speed for three minutes. Strain through cheesecloth or other fine filter. Refrigerate. If you prefer thicker milk, use slightly less water, or simmer on low heat to desired consistency prior to refrigeration.
Almond milk is a great substitute in milk shakes, protein shakes, and even lattes.
hey, my first comment! i love your blog and get so much inspiration from all your meal ideas and reviews. as a gal who lives off almond milk, i was surprised to see a recipe for it-somehow it never occured to me that i could make it myself! very cool!
Oooh – I’d love to try the recipe for Almond Milk! It would be so much cheaper than buying it.
Goodness! The recipes all looked awesome, but the one thing I’ve been dying to make for the past two years, really, is almond milk. I’d really like to be able to make my own, although I don’t think it’d be less expensive than what I buy at TJ’s. Nonetheless, that’s where I want to go with almonds some time:). Thanks for doing this giveaway! Hopefully I’ll get to try almond butter yet!
I had no idea that almonds were good for people with diabetes because it can help level insulin levels- see super foods do everything even the things you think they dont. You would think vitamin E would be enough
I would love to try the almond milk recipe! My husband and I don’t do dairy but we love our nut milks! I am always anxious to try new nut milks recipes like the one below!
Almond Milk

Refrigerate. If you prefer thicker milk, use slightly less water, or simmer on low heat to desired consistency prior to refrigeration.
I’d like to try the cranberry almond salad and the almond milk! Wasabi almonds sound amazing, too! I love wasabi peas, so I can only imagine what the almonds would taste like!!
I think i would try the almond milk… Thanks for having the giveaway!
Ooh, the Greek spinach salad plus baklava sounds like one slammin’ Greek feast. Yes, please! =)
The oatmeal bars sound great! And I love the cute little jar that the almond butter comes in
I wanna try that cranberry almond salad. yum!!
aahh I would love love love to win this give away Heather! Almonds are a good plant sourse of calcuim and iron! Yay!!
Almond Milk! I buy so much each week for my Green Monsters–I would love to make my own!!
Oooh.. the East Indian Rice Palou sounds incredible. What interesting flavors. Oh, pick me pick me!
Kudos to Almond butter! As a runner, nutrition is key, and almond butter gives me bone–building minerals like magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus, and more vitamin E! I’ve never made homemade almond milk and would love to give that a try!
mmm…toffee bars
I love the almond milk recipe. I bet honey would be a great addition! Thanks!
How funny your oat bran wouldn’t fit! I would want to try the Magic Cookie Bars – like heaven, in bar form. Love, love, love almond butter!
Wow, that AB looks amazing! I’d love to make their Magic Cookie bars (http://www.homegrownalmonds.com/almond-recipes-magic-cookie-bars.html). Yum!
How’s that for official health info??
=) Hope i win
Almonds in the diet simultaneously improve plasma alpha-tocopherol concentrations and reduce plasma lipids.
Source: School of Kinesiology and Nutritional Science, California State University, Los Angeles, CA, USA. more here
The objective of this study was to assess the dose-response effect of almond intake on plasma and red blood cell tocopherol concentrations in healthy adults enrolled in a randomized, crossover feeding trial. Participants were 16 healthy men and women, aged 41+/-13 years. After a 2-week run-in period, participants were fed three diets for 4 weeks each: a control diet, a low-almond diet, and a high-almond diet, in which almonds contributed 0%, 10%, and 20% of total energy, respectively. Changes in blood tocopherol levels were assayed by high pressure liquid chromatography. Incorporating almonds into the diet helped meet the revised Recommended Dietary Allowance of 15 mg/day alpha-tocopherol and increased lipid-adjusted plasma and red blood cell alpha-tocopherol concentrations. A significant dose-response effect was observed between percent energy in the diet from almonds and plasma ratio of alpha-tocopherol to total cholesterol.
I’d love to try the Oatmeal Bars!! Thanks!
Yummy! I want to try all of the recipes, but if I had to pick one it would be the Oatmeal Bars.
The toffee bars sound great.
That looks so good! I want to make the Oatmeal Bars
That first spoonful has me hooked. And I haven’t even tried it!
Yum! Those wasabi almonds look delish. I love wasabi, and I love almonds, so… why not combine them!
The East Indian Rice Palou looks amazing. So good.
What a nice website they have! I would love to try their recipe for homemade almond milk!!!!
The jar is just cutest! I’d still haven’t made ABU (or any ‘_BU’ for that matter). I really want to try that.
I would really love to try and make my own almond milk!
the oatmeal bars, well all of them, I love almound butter, almost as much as you heather.
The toffee bars sound delicious and although I could add a technical health fact, I am going to contribute my own findings:
Almonds are healthy because almond butter makes me happy. Works for me!
Their East Indian Rica Palou sounds heavenly! But I think I’d make it with quinoa instead
YUM!
I love Baklava and have never gotten around to making it before. Mmm.. soo good.
That almond butter looks so yummy! I am sure it tastes even better… I guess the FIRST recipe I would make would be the almond milk, because the only kinds I find in the store have artificial ingredients in them. But these only have almonds, water, honey, and vanilla extract! Can’t get much better than that!!
The Greek spinach salad sounds great! I would try that recipe first although I can’t say I wouldn’t try them all! Thanks, Heather!
I’ll confess I was totally going to the website to simply find a recipe so I could win the almond butter (I love the look of it). But I get there and the Oatmeal Bars sounds so wonderfully simple. I really truly love love love a simple 4-ingredient recipe. How awesome is that?
OOO! What a wonderful post!! I don’t know who better to review almond butter, than you!!!
I’d love to taste a jar!!
greek spinach salad sounds divine!!!
however, the wasabi almonds is calling my name. it’s like wasabi peas but even better. ^^
That looks so chunky and delicious. Enter me please.
oatmeal bars with almond butter frosting? um yes please
I’ve never made almond milk before; need to try that out!
Thanks for another great giveaway!
OOH! I want to try the Magic Cookie Bars! My mom used to make Magic Cookie Bars for me when I was a kid! Aw, sweet memories.
And does the name “Briden Wilson Farm” conjure images of an almond farm run by the lead singer of the Beach Boys for anyone else, or just me? Oh wait, that was Brian Wilson… my bad.
Mrs. HEAB,
Nice giveaway! Thanks to you and to Briden Wilson Farm! Hmmm, several of the recipes look fantastic. But I would start with the magic bars!
I’d love to try these! The Baklava recipe looks awesome!
Almonds are rich in monosaturated fats! Good for lowering cholesterol!
I <3 almonds! I could eat them forever…
Your almond butter makes me want to try the stuff all the more! It’s only the price tag that makes me hesitate. However, next time I’m at TJ’s, I’m picking up a jar! My mom wants to try it too!
As much as I love almonds, I’ve actually never had almond milk before, so I’d like to try that recipe. The cranberry-almond salad sounds really great though!
Oh I’d love to try Baklava! Never had it!
Thanks!
Keri

what torture it must have been testing that almond butter so many times! even though i just bought a brand new jar of my favorite almond butter, i’d love to give this one a taste!
heath-related almond fact: you receive twice the antioxidant punch from eating almonds WITH their skin on than you would if you were to eat just skin or the meat alone. the flavonoids in the skin pair up with the vitamin E in the meat. so don’t eat skinned almonds! (but who would want to?!)

I’d love to make the cranberry almond salad!
oh i LOVE wasabi almonds! so addicting, i agree. and what a cute jar! haha i get a kick out of things like that. i think making my own almond milk from that recipe would be fun, or the magic cookie bars because i LOVE those!
that almond better looks AMAZING! here’s what i learned: almonds can be beneficial in lowering cholesterol in plant-based diets. it does not matter whether they’re raw, dry roasted, or “buttered”
The almond milk recipe sounds delicious! And so does that Almond Butter…I sure would love to win this one =)
Definitely want to try and Oatmeal bars listed on the website. Thanks for posting the giveaway. Hope you are having a fantastic day!
whatttt cinnamon honey almonds…mmmm. sorry I was supposed to pick a recipe, but I got sidetracked when I saw that yummy food.
MMMMmmmmm – the wasabi Almonds sounds SO good! I think I’ll give a go at the East Indian Rice Palou.
hands down the BAKLAVA! sooooooo good. who cares if it requires 2 cups of butter? (i mean, i do, but….)
best. giveaway. ever.
east indian rice palouthe would definitely be the first recipe i’d try thanks heather
I’d try my hand at the East Indian Rice Palou.
Speaking of things Eastern…did you know that explorers ate almonds while traveling the Silk Road between Asia and the Mediterranean? Eventually almond trees flourished in the Mediterranean.
There’s a little history fact for you too! Love the site.
Yum! This is making me crave some almond butter (good thing I’m snacking on a banana and AB right now!) I’d love to try the recipe for almond milk, and thankfully it looks easy enough!
I want to try those Magic Cookie Bars – yuuuum!
heab, pick me! what an awesome giveaway!!
i would LOVE to try the baklava, but i’m pretty i would be eating the entire jar with a spoon
have a wonderful day <3
Big fan of your blog and wild rice, Wild Rice Soup sounds good, and the almond butter!! Can’t believe you finished the whole thing
Ooh I would like to make the cranberry-almond salad. It looks super easy and quick which are both big pros in my book! Those Wasabi Almonds look ridiculously addictive! Would love to try the AB though – I’m still an AB virgin!!
ALL the recipes look great — especially the TOFFEE BARS!!
daaaang. youd be so proud of me. i had pounds and pounds of almonds this weekend. in fact i kinda went overboard in true HEAB style. i even managed to find carob covered almonds…which lasted all of 2 minutes. highly addictive is an understatement! if only i could bring liquids on board flights…i wanted to bring the entire store’s worth of products back with me!!
that salad with them looks soooo good!
The Cranberry-Almond Salad looks good.
I am definitely going to have to make their Oatmeal Bars. I am a sucker for anything oatmeal and almond butter!
almonds are a good source of vitamin E!
and i’d love to make the baklava!!! sounds delicious
I would love to make the Greek Spinach Salad! Hope I win the almond butter!
Thanks Heather,
Kate
Yum! The almond milk recipe looks delicious.
I would love to try making the Indian Rice Palou! It sounds absolutely lovely! Especially on a crisp, cool autumn night in New England.
ohh, i think i want to win this one more than any giveaway ever! i would definitely try the east indian rice palou – so many of my favorite flavors.
I think my family would be all over the wild rice soup!
Almond butter is the YUM!
Oatmeal bars! They seem simple enough
And oatmeal = always a winner!
Thanks so much for the opportunity! The Toffee Bars sound so good! I really want to try them and “healthify” the recipe!!
The almond milk recipe sounds so yummy!!! I am a huge fan of it, although I wish per serving almond milk had more protein.
Almonds used as snacks in the diets of hyperlipidemic subjects significantly reduce coronary heart disease risk factors, probably in part because of the nonfat (protein and fiber) and monounsaturated fatty acid components of the nut.
Awesome!
The oatmeal bars sound awesome, the toffe bars too.
i’d love to try the cranberry almond salad!
Hi Heather! Almonds are a good source of monounsaturated fats which are our buddies in lowering the ugly LDL cholesterol. >=)
Hope you are having a wonderful day!
The east indian rice dish sounds yummy. I have been eating 100% raw and am slowly transitioning back into cooked so this might be one of my cooked meals soon. Yum!
The Cranberry-Almond Salad looks delicious!!! I’d love to try that! But even more, I’d love to try the Almond butter!!
awesome giveaway heather!
oooh! I think the cinnamon honey almonds would be great with baked apples!! I agree though, the best almond butter recipe only needs one thing – a spoon
I agree with you in that the best way to taste test is on a spoon!! looks sooo delicious
Yum! I’d love to try the baklava!
Mmmm… the Greek Spinach Salad sounds sooo yummy, minus the olives. I don’t like olives, but it sounds great!
I love making my own almond milk and although the recipe on their website calls for almonds, I am thinking a spoonful of almond butter and water would do the trick. Yum!!!
the toffee bars look incredible!
Would love to try Almond Milk!
Thanks for the giveaway! I think the East Indian Rice Palou recipe sounds pretty amazing
I would love to try the Toffee Bars!!! OMG!! YUM!!!
Their receipe for baklava sounds yummy!
I’m definitely making the almond milk tonight! Take THAT, Costco!
Hi in protien fiber and vitamen e and love them some omegas!!! You know the bussiness:) I so want to make my own almond milk-I would probably save some dough:)
I want some of those toffee bars right now!
Those almonds look GOOD! Hello, magic cookie bars, I’ll be making you soon. The recipe looks divine, and similar to the Nordstrom Magic bars which are B.A. Here’s to nuts!
Wow, I am totally jonesin’ for some almonds now. Considering my recent obsession with red bell peppers, that Greek Spinach Salad sounds perfect!
Thanks for the thorough review and the giveaway!
I would love to try their baklava!!!!
Oh gosh, I’m so hungry right now, I could have me a jar-full of almond butter!
Oh my, I am all about the greek salad. I hope I win!
Mmmm, those picture make this look delectable! Almonds lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.
The jar is ADORABLE! Although it couldn’t hold all of your oat bran
I’d LOVE to try some! I really wanna try making the oatmeal bars or a salad – perhaps the cranberry almond salad they listed on their website?
Love,
Meg
Baklava! I’m a sucker for anything with nuts and cinnamon. Thanks!
Oh yummy! The almond butter looks so nice and creamy. What a great giveaway!
I would love to give the Almond greek salad..it looks so good!
Hmmmm, I would definitely try to make the oatmeal bars, OR the baklava just because that seems like a pretty cool recipe to have under your belt.
I definitely would love to try making almond milk!! For some reason I’ve never tried (store-bought) almond milk in a latte, but that sounds amazing… I’ll definitely have to get on that. yum!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I am very new to the whole almond butter craze, but am loving the whole experience! I would love to try all of the recipes, but most especially the Cranberry-Almond Salad and the Wild Rice Soup to warm me up on some cold Alaskan winter nights!
Ummm. yeah, that recipe sounds delish!

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk

I definitely want to try the almond milk recipe….always wanted to make my own.
I now eat almond butter with banana all the time, I am becoming addicted to it. I love seeing new ways you use almonds!

I’d definitely try their almond milk recipe with some of the cinnamon honey almonds or the East Indian Rice Palou, which looks really tasty too!

I would love to make the Baklava. Most recipes use walnuts or pistachios, but almond would be an even better, calcium-rich alternative!
I would love to try the recipe for oatmeal bars!
Wow, how to choose from these recipes, well this site got me through a shared love of oats, almonds and vitamix’d green gorgeousness. So……my first choice of recipe would have to be the oatmeal bars topped with almond frosting.
Baklava….yummmm!!
I would def. make the cranberry almond salad (minus the cheese, double the almonds)
i LOVE almond butter!! this giveaway is so excited =)

YAY CALIFORNIA almonds! And ummm almond baklava…HEYOOOO!
OOOOhhh I would love to try the Baklava! It’s my favorite dessert ever and trying it with Almond butter would be divine.
I just bought my first almond butter yesterday in a single serving to try…now I must buy more. Or maybe not to avoid eating an entire jar in one sitting
Hi! I’d love to try the cinnamon honey almonds! Well actually all of them sound good on the website! But those caught my attention first! Thanks, good post heather.
I would love to try the almond milk! That stuff is pricey, but awesome

I’ve been out of almond butter for almost two weeks now… the tragedy! I learned that almonds can play a role in lowering cholesterol. Also, their greek spinach salad sounds like it’s right up my alley.

Oh my, their Greek Spinach Salad sounds soooooooooooooo delicious!! Since raw baby spinach leaves are my most favorite veggie and I love Greek olives, that recipe is on my to-make list!
And, since I’m nearing the end of my 30-day juice fast and will be introducing solid foods back into my diet, how awesome would it be if I won the Briden Wilson Farm almond butter since I’ve never had the opportunity to try it??!!
I really want to try the Magic Cookie Bars!! The almond butter looks amazing! Thanks for the chance!!

Now, I usually cannot handle ANYTHING remotely spicy, but for whatever reason I freaking adore the Trader Joe’s wasabi nut trail mix whatever its called stuff. I assume it doesnt have artificial ingredients, so give it a shot. But also highhhhly addictive!!!
Holy comments!! I’m a HEABer fo life
The cinnamon honey ones sound awesome! I would love some almonds to boost my monounsaturated fat and improve my plasma cholesterol and lipoproteins, haha ya know the usual.

I’m intrigued by the almond milk recipe. I really want to try to make my own almond milk! I have seen a few people do it but, I have been too worried that I would mess it up.

I’d love to try the Toffee Bars recipe (see below). I’m new to ‘other’ nut butters. I just tried almond butter for the first time yesterday — very impressed. I like how it’s thinner than peanut butter. Much better for stirring into cereal and yogurt.

Toffee Bars
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg yolk
1 large Hershey bar
1/2 cup chopped almonds
Preheat oven to 350. Mix butter, brown sugar, flour, salt, vanilla and egg yolk in mixing bowl. Press into 11 x 17 cookie sheet pan or jelly roll pan (put a little flour on your fingers if it’s too sticky). Bake for 15 minutes at 350. Put Hershey bar on top (or spread chocolate chips) and cover with foil a few minutes until melted. Spread like frosting. Sprinkle chopped almonds on top.
I’d love to try and make almond milk! I already drink it, but I’ve never made my own. Yum!
