Green Jay Gourmet Monkey Butter - Tropical Fruit Butter Spread - 19 Oz

Tried it for the first time. Cheese, crackers, monkey butter --> Pretty darn good, I may alternate with my usual pepper jelly or honey mustard approach (I like spicy sweet too), but still tastes good and adds a nice fruity contrast and good texture to the end result without interfering with the salty / sharp cheese or the simple crunch of a cracker - and it's much easier and requires less prep than using apple slices or the like. So that's a win. Peanut butter and monkey butter --> not bad. The pineapple and texture gives the sandwich sweetness and a slightly different experience than the usual jelly / jam / preserves... will depend on the kid and their texture reactions probably. That's a good enough / could turn into a preferred way to go - so also a win. Cooking with it? I'm still experimenting. Not bad with chicken stirfry for a bit of sweetness added to a sauce (not sure I wouldn't just say add pineapple straight though - the banana and spread-ability didn't really add anything and personally chunks / bursts of sweetness in my savory dishes are something I like, while this is lost more in the mix.) Need more experimenting there... haven't found a great place for it yet. Instead of Icing? Actually that works pretty well - depends on what kind of cake you're doing of course, but as a contrast to Carrot Cake (and without dairy / cream cheese) it really works. Peanutbutter cake (a new thing to me) goes well with it too predictably. It's not as sweet as pure icing and it doesn't have the strength of flavor (in my opinion) to replace chocolate or fudge icing (usually you want the extra chocolate flavor there as part of the balance) but if you want things to appear a little healthier than the usual butter cream / store spread / etc - it can really work. A win there too - though more exploring necessary. I think it might be too much to add to banana bread cupcakes but.... maybe? We'll see!

Holy monkey madness, this stuff is delicious!!! My picky 17-year-old daughter has been on a massive banana kick lately, not only when it comes to edible/food items, but also banana-scented…well, just about anything. I had heard of Monkey Butter before, but has never tried it. I was planning a little Ploughman’s Lunch type of spread for my daughter, and I wanted to include something sweet to counteract the traditional British condiments I had ordered for this meal. I will tell you this- by the time she was done eating, the entire bowl of Monkey Butter was LICKED CLEAN, while the other condiment bowls hadn’t even touched! I just wish they sold this in a gallon…or a 5 gallon bucket!!!!

I took away 1 star because I wish it was made just a little thicker. The flavor is absolutely delicious though, it is not thick like jelly or jam, and could actually be poured onto something? not runny, but not thick . I suppose you could spread it onto toast or waffles, or just stir into something like oatmeal. Simple ingredients, and seems to be of good quality. I will probably buy more!

We just got our shipment of Monkey Butter (it was shipped to us, and carefully wrapped. No leakage) 20 minutes later and we have eaten 1/2 a jar! We keep finding different ways to eat it. We ate it by spoon, put on crackers, put on bread, and tried it on ice cream! It is so good! It's got a nice sweet taste without too many calories, or loaded with "additional sugar". I would put it oatmeal or over some kind of cereal to kick it up a notch. A tablespoon- (mine is heaping lol) has something like 7 carbs and 8 sugars. All natural ingredients. You can definitely smell the banana first, then pineapple. I'm sure it will be gone by tomorrow! I'm ready to order it again- definitely going to start a subscribe and save. I definitely am going to try a new kind of butter. I'm not a huge pumpkin lover but I have a feeling that the pumpkin butter would be just right! Peach too. I also like something a little sweet at night. My choices have been raising my blood sugar, but I feel if I eat it like a normal human being- a little bit- will go a long way and I'll keep my blood sugar steady.

Rather disappointing - texture was more like applesauce and flavor as pale.

Great fruit spread with yummy ingredients! This is my absolute favorite spread. I put on toast, no butter, place on fruit, and on just about everything I can. Its a great value for the money. You won't be sorry if you purchase this butter!

Bland, tasteless and just one note - sweet. There's no Banana, Mango, Pineapple or any other flavor at all. It's just sweet and huge waste of money that ended up in the garbage.

Love these flavored butters
