The brothers Brad and Borgess came up with the idea for Trail Butter on an 8,900-mile bike ride from Lake Constance back to their former home in California. Fed up with the taste of synthetic "energy food", they only ate nuts, nut butters and dried fruit on their long trip - just like cavemen did in the Stone Age. But there was little room in their rucksacks for large supplies. So the brothers came up with the idea of combining the paleo ingredients in one product to create a space-saving, energy-supplying snack for traveling.

The nut butter from Trail Butter is based on a mixture of ground almonds and organic coconut oil. They are refined with ground vanilla, a little sea salt and honey. Depending on the variety, other nuts, dried fruit, coffee or chocolate are also added. With these ingredients, Jeff and Brad Borgess almost follow the guidelines of the paleo diet. The Stone Age diet is made up of foods that are believed to have been available in the Palaeolithic period and is based on non-processed foods such as fruit, honey and nuts in addition to fish and meat.

The advantage of trail butter is that it burns slowly, which makes it interesting for endurance athletes and expedition participants. It should not only impress with its 100 percent natural ingredients and high energy level, but also with its natural taste.

The range includes three different flavors Maple Syrup & Sea Salt, Cranberries & Sunflower Nuts and Dark Chocolate & Coffee, in which all ingredients are carefully selected and coordinated, according to the manufacturer. The varieties are available both mixed and individually from 17.99 US dollars in packs of three. The price at which the three-packs will be sold in Switzerland or the euro countries is still open, as are the distribution channels.
