When Sister Smart was about 4 or 5 years old, she hardly spoke. [I mean, near mute-like tendencies.] However, one thing she did do was SING. All. The. Time. One of her favorite songs was “Java Jive” as refashioned by Manhattan Transfer. To this day, I often find myself singing the words in my head as I take my first sip o’ joe in the morning, or tea at night. I do not, however, do the little dance she did. But I’ll try to get it on video if I can.
———————————
I love coffee.
I love tea.
I love the Java Jive,
And it loves me!
Coffee–
–and tea–
–the Java and me–
–a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!
I love java, sweet and hot.
Oops! Some grounds fell into my processor ‘pot.’
Spiced up like chai–
–Nutty Butter and I–
A cup, a jar (?) a cup, a jar (?) a cup. 
Yes, you Java Jivin,’ jellyrollin’ jazz-sters…
January brings the Java Jive to the Nutty Butter kitchen!
Caramel Latte
This blend of almonds, cashews, peanuts, and sunflower seeds is a sweet, coffee-laced Nutty Butter that goes down smooth like a decadently buttery afternoon pick-me-up, with just a hint of coffee flavor rounding out each bite. [Mama Smart gave it two VERY enthusiastic thumbs up.]
Chai (Nut) Tea
With a new year comes a new-ly reformulated Chai Tea Nutty Butter, adding just the right amount of sweetness and vanilla to balance the spice of ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom.

so i know i am pretty blessed and pretty spoiled when it comes to being able to have tried nutty butter, but you just HAD to go and add coffee. seriously, i am a coffee addict, coffee snob, coffee obsessed.
I really don’t think I can start my day without coffee. At home I keep it pretty simple. Yes I have quite a few flavors to choose from (i blame Target) but its usually just adding some stevia and almond milk.
dont get my started on starbucks. white chocolate soy lattes own me.
now all i can think about is coffee nut butter.

So I totally weened myself off caffeine by using Cafix! It’s awesome. Prepared like instant coffee but made with chicory and beets – no coffee, no caffeine. But imparts an awesome coffee taste. I add some So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk, some cinnamon and some stevia – sometimes even kicking it up a notch with liquid hazelnut Stevia – Bam! So good!
Following nutty butter on twitter too.
I think my favorite type of tea is Green tea. I love it & it’s full of antioxidants. I love Yogi teas & also Tazo are good as well. OOH I’m a coffee lover too… YUm yum!

My fave coffee, EVER, is Hawaiian Coffee Company’s Kona Coffee, which is impossible to find in the contiguous United States.
I love tea, and go through phases of my favorites. My weekday morning staple is Stash acai berry. When I want a creamier drink, my favorite is Harney & Sons decaf vanilla comoro to which I add soy milk. Ask me again tomorrow, and I may have a different favorite!

My absolute favorite way to start the day is with a cup of Starbucks french roast with a splash of almond milk
it makes a great nutty flavor!
And of course I’m a FB fan!
oh my gosh I would love to try these! My fav tea ever is actually the tea they serve/sell at Aveda salons..it’s called relaxation and it is swoon-worthy. It’s so expensive that I hoard it and only pull it out when I really need it…
I like nutty butter on fb of course!

I’m such a coffee/tea addict. I love peppermint mocha coffee, especially the Skinny Peppermint Mocha from Starbucks. I also love Celestial Seasonings holiday teas. I think Candy Cane Lane is my favorite…especially when you add a little vanilla stevia for sweetness. Chai tea was my first love, thanks for the awesome nutty butter flavor and chance to win a jar!
