What is Bitchin’ Sauce?
First of all, this isn’t a sponsored/paid post. We wanted to let you know about Bitchin’ sauce just because we truly love it.
When Zoe and I were living in San Diego, we first learned about Bitchin’ Sauce at the San Diego farmers market. After trying a free sample, we were immediately hooked. Since those early days of this delicious sauce, we’ve been addicted to it.
Fortunately for us, shortly after leaving San Diego, the company expanded their network to include grocery stores across the country from Whole Foods to Safeway to Costco. That we, we continued to get our Bitchin’ Sauce fix. They also sell online so get it delivered straight to your door with this link!
Bitchin’ sauce is a creamy, hearty spread with a zesty zing. It is almond-based, which provides the smooth texture and flavor (and also why it is both delicious and nutritious!). I would say that hummus is the spread most similar to it but that still doesn’t do it justice since the flavor is very unique and somethin you have to try yourself!
At first, the only 3 flavors were original, chipotle, and pesto. However, they have since expanded their number of flavors. As of February, 2023, here are all of the available flavors:
- Original
- Chipotle
- Cilantro Chili
- Bombay
- Pesto
- Heat
- Carmelized Onion
- Eggplant & Olive
- Avocado Serrano
- Spinach Artichoke
- Buffalo
- Roasted Green Chile & Pepita
- Green Onion
