...but it would help if it didn't LOOK so much like peanut butter. LOL. I had an almond butter and honey sandwich for lunch, and it was good...when I reminded myself it was almond butter, because my brain saw it and thought "peanut butter!!" and then my tongue thought it was peanut butter gone bad.

Am I the only weird one like this?

    Nope. I like it, but every time I have it I expect to taste peanut butter and am surprised when it doesn't. Trader Joe's makes some yummy almond butter!

    I like pretty much all nut butters and I no longer eat anything with peanuts in it as they are not a nut.

    Macadamia and cashew butters are my favorites.

    Marantha makes an almond butter with chocolate. The calories are the same as regular almond butter.

    PB2..........the powdered peanut butter tastes FABULOUS!

    They even make one with chocolate. I add it to yogurt, almond milk, anything really!

    I just cannot deal with even the IDEA of "powdered peanut butter". If I wanted to eat powdered food, I'd be an astronaut. Blech!

    I don't have a problem with occasional peanut butter. I'm just trying to mix some almond butter into the mix occasionally.

    Definitely...almond butter & honey on some whole grain (I love Oatnut) bread, and you have a power sandwich, there! ;-)

    We gave up Peanutbutter years ago. I don't have any desire
    to eat it now. I LOVE almond butter and it is better for you.
    I hope you can become to love it too!!

    I can't deal with the idea of powdered peanut butter either..............or powdered food of any kind.

    Frankenfoods.
