Well, my love for peanut butter on granny smith apples led me to try almond butter because I LOVE almonds. BLEHHH! That was one of the most horrible things I have ever tried! YUCK! I quickly threw it out and grabbed by jar of peanut butter. It's funny though, I don't even like peanuts, but LOVE peanut butter. Anyone else run into this? Just found it interesting! :)

    I didn't care for it when I first tried it, but now I LOVE it. I eat it every single day. And I rarely eat peanut butter anymore. Give it another chance!

    Really? I love peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter....can't say I notice a huge difference in taste or texture. That's odd that you did - but then, everyone's tastebuds are different.

    Not all almond butters taste the same. I tried Target's brand of almond butter and did not like it and thought it didn't taste like almonds at all. I went back to MaraNatha natural almond butter and it tastes like candy.

    That happened to me with cashew butter - I LOVE cashews but the cashew butter was a disappointment - still edible but not as nice as the almond butter I had before, will stick to almond butter from now on cos I LOVE that!!

    I found cashew butter was more similar to peanut butter so why not try that? You could be exact opposite to me haha xxx

    ETA I use meridian brand ones - pretty much the only brand redily available over here in the UK x

    I wasn't sure to begin with, keep trying it though - it does grow on you.

    I make my own hazelnut and sunflower seed butter with liquid egg whites, coconut milk, Saigon cinnamon and a bit of Erythritol. I love it by itself or with Mulberry or Hawthorn spread.

    LOVE that stuff!! Funny my husband thought the bulk stuff I had ground at Whole Foods had something wrong with it and he tried to throw it away..!
    My current addiction is almond butter, sunflower seed butter, speculoos (which isn't very healthy, but tasty) and a organic honey roasted fresh ground peanut butter...

    Did you try freshly ground almond butter? I love almond butter on bananas. Freshly ground peanut butter is great on apples too. Both have no sugar or added oil which is a big plus!
