In 2012, my brother and I started Trail Butter to offer up a delicious and nutritious real-food alternative to endurance gels and other highly-processed snack options for individuals on the go. Since Trail Butter's beginning, I've been asked one question, in particular, many times over...
"How does one use Trail Butter?" The simple answer is, there are a number of situations where Trail Butter comes in handy, and really any excuse to enjoy our wholesome nut butter blends is a good one.
Trail Butter offers something for everyone - this gift guide should help provide some "food for thought" when it comes to gift-giving this holiday season.
Happy Holidays!

Trail Butter Lil' Squeezes
Best Uses: Endurance Athletes' Fuel On-The-Go, Healthy Snacks for Kids & Kids-at-Heart, Stocking Stuffers
Trail Butter Lil' Squeezes are a great choice for the person who likes to get outside and get after it for hours on end. They'll for sure be in need of great tasting, calorie-dense nutrition to help fuel their efforts.
We like to call Trail Butter 'smart fuel' which has taken on a whole new meaning as parents are serving up our single-serves to help their remote learners get through their virtual school day. Trail Butter Lil Squeezes work great for a mid-day healthy snack for kids AND kids-at-heart.
Available in 4 flavors and a 12-pack variety pack. So dang tasty, it'll be hard to stop at one. Shop The Collection.
Best Uses: Protection from the Elements, Styling Additions to Your Wardrobe
We're digging these new headwraps sporting our signature 'Trailscape' design - intended to help keep wearers safe (hello pandemic) and stylin' while out on the trail. These work wonders in the wintertime for a little added warmth and provides protection from the sun when needed. And, if snot rockets aren't your thing - headwraps to the rescue! *wink*
