Warning: This post contains the worst news you are going to hear today. (Unless you found out your dog died, in which case I am very sorry and this joke isn’t funny.)
Anyways, I went to TJ’s again today looking for my beloved almond butter. It was still MIA. I asked and was told TJ’s Almond Butter with flax seeds will not return until September.
I confirmed this with the manager and he told me to just end it all it was true. Boo. He said the only thing to do (besides throwing a hissy fit in the Trader Joe’s aisles) is to try and contact corporate and let them know you want it back.
R.I.P. TJ’s Almond Butter with Roasted Flaxseeds.
He was a good nut butter. He’ll live on in our hearts and minds…

Today I used tempeh for lunch again. I got this flavor because I love anything garlic, but it is a little too salty.
I think it’s better in salads then sandwiches. I would love to make an Asian style stir-fry with this next time!
On a salad: It was better, but not best this way. I think this flavor has to be in an Asian style dish because the flavors are overpowering.
Snacks: (no pics) granola and pack of cocoa almonds.
Dinner: Roasted broccoli, sweet potato with cottage cheese and veggie burger. I added the cottage cheese for protein because these Tex Mex Praegers veggie burgers don’t have much protein.
I picked up a new bar of dark chocolate at TJ’s to ease the pain of my loss of Almond Butter.
Okay, I need to get back to packing.
But, what I’m really going to do is watch TV 🙂 Don’t tell anyone.

I have come to my conclusion that your headline “bad news ab lovers run eat repeat…” is extraordinary but I wanna let you know that your content is now loading rapidly than it used to.
runnerforever says
And I had not even gotten a chance to try it. 🙁
Margie says
That AB sounds great, but I don’t have a TJ’s in my area. So lucky for me I don’t feel like I’m missing out. I love Praeger’s veggie burgers, but I agree they are not that high in protein. I usually pair it with Ezekiel bread or a Flat out wrap and a cup of peas(extra protein) to up the overall protein intake.
runeatrepeat says
The pea idea is good! Thanks 🙂
Olivia @ Blissful Runner says
Thanks for the heads up. I just got back from TJs and couldn’t find their almond butter with flax at my location either. Well, September is only a few months out. I guess we’ll have to suck it up. 🙂
Tay says
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! why must they do this to us?? But seriously. Why discontinue it until September? Boooo 🙁

caronae says
Noooooooooo! I couldn’t find the flax AB the other night and thought they were just out for the day. I had to get flax PB instead which isn’t as good. 🙁
Dr. Praeger’s tex-mex burgers are my fave! Hope you’re having a splendiferuos Wednesday!
qmgo.cnBrasseux says
I hope you have a great day! easyyhyoga
Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) says
UNTIL SEPTEMBER??!?!?!!? Ugh Andy just finished our last jar. 🙁 Sad day indeed. When it comes back I’m buying 5 jars. Seriously.
I’ll e-mail corporate. Why not?
stacey says
Hmm, I just bought some of this AB this past Saturday at my TJ’s. Maybe it’s the last of their stock. It’s my first time buying it.

erica says
as long as they’re bringing it back at ALL i’m happy! haha i’m so obsessed with that AB, i was worried you’d say it was permanently discontinued!
Myesha Galyon says
A couple of weeks ago i downloaded Fable II Torrent from http://www.games-iso.com and, even though its not really a new game, its simply the best NINTENDO DSi game ever made in my opinion =)
nicole says
They did the same thing with my favorite beer! They run production of it only at certain times and they always run out early. Its always in the summer too which is the best time for it =(.
Nichole says
RIP AB. A good, good nut indeed.
If you get super desperate, check to see if they are selling him on Ebay.
Hope your packing also helped you get caught up on the latest shows. It’s multitasking, that’s OK.
Alyssa says
This is truly devastating. At least I know so I can stop running to the nut butter aisle hopefully every time I am at TJs.
runeatrepeat says
I know! I was stalking the TJ’s nut butter aisle. Now I have to move on…
Whitney @ Lettuce Love says
That is such a bummer! I hate when stores take away foods that I love. I still miss the veggie burger I bought back in high school that have since disappeared from the shelves. Maybe you could learn how to make your own AB with flax, a summer project of sorts!
runeatrepeat says
That actually does sound fun! I should make it myself 🙂
Emily says
No wonder the past three times I’ve been they’ve been out.
Bummer.
That’s the worst news of Wednesday yet…
Tami says
we never have any lucky when we email trader joes. THEY NEVER respond. drives me crazy. the people in teh stores are so helpful and nice but that many office of theirs needs some help.
runeatrepeat says
Totally agree! The people in the stores are great, but I have never gotten any response from online inquiries 🙁
Laura says
I cant believe they stopped selling the almond butter with flaxseeds, i know how much you love that products. sadface
Amber K says
Personally I love my peanut butter that has flaxseed in it. I haven’t tasted one better than Smart Balance. I am sure there is something out there that is better, but I just haven’t found it!
Hangry Pants says
That is horrible news. Why do they toy w/ me? It’s probably better. Seriously, I ate a whole jar in a week once.
Melissa S. says
ah, i wonder why september? it’s because they know it’s my birthday that month. 😉
Ella says
THANK YOU for including that link to email corporate! it made it so easy and I straightaway emailed them… I too love that almond butter and it disappears in about 1 week every time I buy it. Eek.
Jenny says
I know how you feel! This seems like last year when they told me canned pumpkin wouldn’t be available… I stockpiled like you wouldn’t believe as soon as I found it!
Marilou @ Mostly Healthy says
Everything happens for a reason 🙂 You’ll find WAY better AB, I’m sure!
runeatrepeat says
Yes, but for double the money 🙁
Alison says
Bummer, I like that almond butter. Come to think of it, the last time I was at TJ’s they didn’t have any so I bought that valencia pb with flax, which I liked a lot.
On the bright side, September isn’t *too* far away.
runeatrepeat says
I bought the valencia and didn’t like it 🙁
Evan Thomas says
Don’t kill me, but I love TJ’s almond butter WAYYY more without the flax seeds
runeatrepeat says
You’re dead to me now.
