Ways to eat almond butter without bread?

Just not a fan of the two textures together. I can't stand peanut butter, but I love almonds, so I tried almond butter and not shockingly, I do like it. I like it with strawberries. Maybe I could dip them in it? Is there anything else? Would it be good on graham crackers with honey or something?

omg. I've never had blueberry jam but that sounds so good! I love blueberries..... Also green beans?? so odd but oddly sounds good!0 -
On apples, or alone on a spoon with honey and cinnamon on top. Mmmmm...I had to stop buying it for a while!1

Half an avocado + cocoa powder + almond butter. Whoosh them together in a blender. Set in the fridge. Best dessert ever.
1 -
Everything mentioned above and carrots.1

My sister stands at the counter with the jar of almond butter, a spoon, and a banana. She uses the spoon to put the almond butter on the end of the banana and takes a bite. Probably not the most calorie-friendly way to do it.1
-
By the spoonful, carefully weighed of course.

Warm it up if you want to make it more pourable.1
-
All of the above, plus mixed with cottage cheese and honey.1
-
Mixed into coconut yogurt!1
-
On cucumber!1
-
On noodles, like peanut noodles. Or make a salad dressing.2

Definitely apples and bananas as previously posted. Also in smoothies, and a little nut butter spread on a medjool date, I go crazy for!! Topped with a few dark chocolate chips makes a super nutrient dense dessert!1
-
With a spoon?
Melt a few chocolate chips in and dip fruit in it. Cheap, less calorie laden nutella (okay, and almond vs hazelnuts, which is a plus to me).1 -
Coco Lite pop cakes are good, too, if you just want a neutral thing to carry the almond butter. About the size of a small tortilla, crunchy, more like an airy cracker in texture (not Styrofoam-y like rice cakes can be), and 20 calories. ( cocofoods.com/ ). I use them under my peanut butter.
For about an extra 60 calories on top of that, small Ezekiel tortillas are good, too, if you like whole grain things that are less bread-textured.1 -
Smear it on your husband.11

crackers with banana as well on top of the nut butter. its yum!1

Add it to a protein shake 1 -

Ya, I like cottage cheese, apple sauce, and PB, so imagine almond butter would be great as well.1 -
I make protein balls with it.
Almond butter, almond flour, soy protein and almond milk1 -
GREEN APPLES!!!! Melt it in the micro if it's too thick:) or with banana but still, no harm in a small slice of seeded farmhouse toasted and topped with almond butter and banana yummy1

What, you've never heard of green beans almondine? You could try it on trout, too (truite almondine) or anywhere that you would use almonds, since that's what it is.
Most commercial almond butters that I've seen don't have added sugar in them, so you should think of it as "ambidextrous" when it comes to the sweet/savory divide. (I buy "natural" peanut butter -- no added sugar, no non-peanut oils, but it does have salt -- because I prefer the taste to the "regular" peanut butter, and to me peanut butter is also equally at home in sweet and savory dishes.)3 -
I just schmeared a bunch on a chocolate bar. While delicious, I wouldn't recommend it on a regular basis at 700+ calories.3

Thanks for all the interesting ideas! I should have noted I'm vegetarian but then again I didn't know people ate almonds on fish lol0
