Lisa Danielson introduced us to SunButter, a spread made from sunflower seeds that not only packs a protein punch but is also great for those with food allergies. SunButter is not a nut butter, but in fact a spread made entirely of sunflower seeds, free of peanuts, tree nuts and all top 8 food allergens. To find out where to purchase some near you go here.
