When I sat down to write this yesterday, I had a BRILLIANT idea that totally sidetracked me – to the kitchen, to Google, then to the store.
I can’t wait to share that with you, but it’s going to require one of my fun “kitchen experiments” ~ so stay tuned for the tasty details. 😉
Since I’ve ruled out the Legendary Foods specialty nuts & nut butters in my clean keto testing and discovered they do NOT affect my weight loss or ketone levels, I’ve been enjoying them (A LOT, lol) as a staple in my low carb kitchen.
You can watch the video about that here:

Let’s Create A Wishlist & Make Special Requests!
I started working with Legendary Foods earlier this year after discovering some of their amazing products in my monthly keto boxes. That’s how I scored you a discount code, of course.;) They’ve been FUN to work with as an affiliate, and have even sponsored some of my work here – including the Creative Nut Butter Recipes and Low Carb Waffles Recipe that also makes delicious low carb pancakes & muffins.
You should be pretty familiar with their entire line of specialty nut butters by now, given I’ve been using those so much lately. 😉
But what I haven’t talked much about is their line of seasoned nuts…
As a quick recap, here are the fun low carb products they offer:
Here are the 5 delicious flavored almond butters & nut butters they make:
- Pecan Pie Almond Nut Butter
- Blueberry Cinnamon Bun Nut Butter
- Apple Pie Almond & Cashew Nut Butter
- Peanut Butter Cup Nut Butter
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Nut Butter
Note: If you find yourself trying to decide between Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Cup flavors… the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Nut Butter is WAY better. 😉
They also have 4 flavors of seasoned nuts:
- Cheddar Bacon Seasoned Almonds
- Tangy Ranch Seasoned Almonds
- Buffalo Blue Wing Seasoned Almonds
- Wasabi Soy Sauce Seasoned Macadamia Nuts
They have variety packs and bundles too! click here to see them all…
I totally missed (or dismissed) those MACADAMIA NUTS for the longest time, because I assumed they were almonds like the other three bags… and I wasn’t that interested in the Wasabi Soy flavor.
DUH 🙄
They are amazing!!
Just like their seasoned almonds, the macadamia nuts are HUGE and beautifully seasoned.
I don’t really like spicy foods, or Wasabi at all, but these are not bad – even for me. They DO have a KICK though, so I’m going to use them for something else besides a snack. That’s the “brilliant idea” I mentioned earlier, so stay tuned for that. 😉
All of their seasoned nuts have amazing BOLD flavor with no skimping on the seasoning, but they’re still very low carb and suitable for keto snacking – with MUCH more flavor happiness than your usual plain old nuts.
I really don’t think the photos above are doing those nuts justice, or giving you an idea just how BIG and BEAUTIFUL they are.
They put any regular macadamia nuts to SHAME lol…
Their almonds are the same way…
They’re quite impressive. 😉
I know I’ve been RAVING about their delicious nut butters a lot lately, but I’ve also been enjoying their seasoned almonds.
I enjoyed the Tangy Ranch Almonds on the plane as a snack on my last trip. I took the Buffalo Blue Wing Almonds with me to snack on at a conference where I had long days and limited foods.
And I take them with me on my hikes to fuel-up on the trails too. 😉
Of course, you can’t exactly make tasty pancakes and yummy muffins and thick fluffy waffles with almonds or macadamia nuts, lol.
Or delicious melt-in-your-mouth low carb candy!
Those amazing nut butter recipes are what have me totally addicted to their line of flavored almond & cashew butters! ❤
You can see ALL of my fun, creative (low carb!) “Legendary Creations” with their delicious nut butters on this one page:
Anyway, yes…
From hiking to high heels, I’ve been enjoying the Legendary Foods seasoned almonds on-the-go A LOT lately. 😉
Let’s Have Some FUN!
As an April Fool’s joke this year, they “released four new nut butter flavors” like Tangy Ranch Almond Butter. Blech. 😛 LOL… but it gave me a fun idea!!
Let’s put our heads together and come up with some CREATIVE IDEAS for Legendary Foods: our very own wishlist of special requests!
💡 If you could have ANY flavor of nut butter… which flavor would you LOVE to see them create?
I personally think their entire product line is SO good, that it only makes sense for them to expand on it.
Here’s MY special request:
I want the Macadamia Nuts in all the same flavors as the Almonds! I want Tangy Ranch Macadamia Nuts, Cheddar Bacon Macadamia Nuts and the Buffalo Blue Wing too! 🙂
As for the creamy, delicious flavor-packed nut butters… they already have apple, blueberry, pecan pie, peanut butter cup and peanut butter chocolate chip.
What ELSE would make a GREAT nut butter flavor?
Especially considering all the great recipe ideas I shared with you above, for: candy, muffins, pancakes & waffles.
What do you think?
I would love to see Chocolate Pecan Pie flavor.
Their Pecan Pie Almond Butter is the RICHEST of all the flavors and also the LOWEST carb of all the flavors. But I find myself wanting to pair it with chocolate. So a Pecan Pie Chocolate Chip almond butter, or just Chocolate Pecan Pie almond butter would be GREAT!
I’m drawing a blank for other flavor ideas. Raspberry maybe? Oatmeal cinnamon? I know a lot of people like Pumpkin Spice flavor…
I think a Raspberry White Chocolate Chip nut butter would totally rock my low carb socks. 😉
Here’s the current product list again to help you come up with NEW ideas:
- Pecan Pie Almond Nut Butter
- Blueberry Cinnamon Bun Nut Butter
- Apple Pie Almond & Cashew Nut Butter
- Peanut Butter Cup Nut Butter
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Nut Butter
- Cheddar Bacon Seasoned Almonds
- Tangy Ranch Seasoned Almonds
- Buffalo Blue Wing Seasoned Almonds
- Wasabi Soy Sauce Seasoned Macadamia Nuts
Hmm, here are a few more ideas I just thought of!
Hazelnut Chocolate Chip
Toasted Coconut Almond Crunch
Maple Cinnamon Roll
Mocha Chocolate Chip
And what about their almonds and macadamia nuts? What other BOLD flavors would you love to see in addition to the ranch, cheddar bacon, wasabi & buffalo blue wing?
Maybe:
Cajun
Rosemary
Garlic Parmesan
Sweet & Savory
Sweet & Salty
COCOA – yes!
Cinnamon
Okay yes: Cinnamon Sea Salt Macademia Nuts please.
lol, yum!
I cannot wait to hear YOUR creative ideas. 🙂
Let your imagination run wild!
Who knows, we might just get at least one of our wishes granted!;)
Since I’ve ruled out the Legendary Foods specialty nut butters and ALL of my creative recipes for them in my clean testing and discovered they do NOT affect my weight loss or ketone levels, I’m definitely keeping these products as a staple in MY low carb kitchen.
So yes, I would love to see even MORE variety to tickle my keto taste buds.:)
Best,
Lynn Terry,
aka @LowCarbTraveler
p.s. Stay tuned for my new recipe and FUN kitchen experiment with ONE of these Legendary nuts, because I’m so excited about it I can hardly sit still and finish this post… because I can’t wait to get in the kitchen and play!! 😉 *cheers*

Gina says
White chocolate and caramel almond butter
Chocolate and caramel sea salt almond butter
Buffalo hot wing macademia nuts. ( not a fan of wasabi flavor at all) and please. No bleu flavor. I do not like it at all.
Gina says
Cherry cheesecake almond butter or strawberry. Cheesecake flavor.
Lynn Terry says
I’m glad you mentioned that because I don’t taste any “bleu flavor” at all in the Buffalo Blue Wing almonds. They taste kinda like mild wings to me is all.
Several people asked me about the bleu flavor on Facebook and I totally forgot to add that bit into the notes!
I would be curious to hear from others that have tried the Buffalo Blue Wing Almonds – if you taste any blue cheese flavor at all? They were in one of the recent keto boxes so I know several people here probably tried them. 😉
April T says
Bananas Foster, White Chocolate Creme Brûlée, Chocolate Covered Cherry, or “Brittle” (like a cashew/peanut brittle taste but low carb… I so miss peanut brittle and I don’t even like peanuts!)
Robin Bayne says
Those macadamias look awesome and I love your black and white heels 😉
Lynn Terry says
Thank you! I got them for $28 on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2GI9P3Q and they come in different colors too. 😉 I LOVE THOSE SHOES!! They’re so much fun, and actually comfortable. I want them in red too. 🙂
Lauri says
My wish…would be that they put together single-serve size packets of their nut butters in a variety pack. I’d love to try them, but I can’t justify the huge shipping expense for just one. And I can’t justify buying a multi-pack to save on shipping when I don’t even know if I like them!
Lynn Terry says
Hi Lauri,
You can buy it on Amazon, but it costs $2 more per jar. If you have free Prime shipping, that comes out cheaper though: https://amzn.to/2Ev1FWK so that’s an option!
Most of us got to try it first in one of the monthly keto boxes. That’s how I find and sample products and figure out what I like (and what I don’t! lol) so I can decide what’s worth buying. 😉
My favorite box is Keto Krate: http://www.travelinglowcarb.com/krate The coupon code FIVE2018 will get you $5 off the first box, and there is no contract so you can cancel anytime.
Here is my overview & comparison of the top three keto boxes: http://www.travelinglowcarb.com/boxes to give you an idea what to expect from them – what kind of products you get, etc.

Becky says
Hi Lynn, can you answer this question. Is there vitamins such as potassium, and magnesium I should be taking along with electrolytes while on keto? I have experiences leg pains and some Foot cramps. Not sure if I am getting enough nutrition Other then what is from protein and fats.
Lynn Terry says
Hi Becky,
How long have you been eating 20 net carbs max / 70% fat minimum (keto) consistently? I ask because those are generally symptoms of keto flu, which hits you while your body is going into ketosis, but passes.
The reason you experience headaches, leg cramps, etc is because the process of putting your body into a state of ketosis is a diuretic process. So the best thing to do is drink chicken broth. I like hot chicken broth in a mug with a TBSP of butter. 🙂 That replaces your sodium & electrolytes FAST.
The other common reason for those symptoms is 1) not eating enough sodium, or 2) drinking too much water – which flushes out your electrolytes & sodium faster than your body can replenish it.
I can’t recommend you take certain supplements (legally), but low foods high in both magnesium and potassium include: salmon, mushrooms, spinach & avocado. I have a list for low carb foods high in magnesium here too: http://www.travelinglowcarb.com/4393/healthy-fats-and-super-foods/
I hope that helps. 🙂
