I love the stuff (all natural with NOTHING added- just delicious almondy goodness!) I like a tablespoon of it on wheat toast with a drizzle of honey for dessert, or mixed into some lowfat cottage cheese for a snack. How do you like to use almond butter????

    I can't buy it. I can't stop myself from eating the whole jar. :sad:

    But I do like it on toast!

    I love it. I can't buy it either, because I can't practise portion control with it. Way too addictive for me.

    I like almond butter, but every time I have it I wish it were peanut butter...

    I've been wanting to buy some for a few months now, but the $6 price tag has always stopped me. lol. I love peanut butter, so I can only imagine I'll be totally addicted to almond butter.

    I actually prefer the taste of almond butter over peanut butter which is why I buy it. Sadly, I have an unopened jar of it in my pantry because I'm just not hungry for it lately. I usually eat it with banana on top of crackers.

    I was so excited to try almond butter because I LOVE peanut butter and knew almond would be healthier.

    But...ick. ick. ick. I ended up throwing it out because it was super nasty.

    Is there a specific brand that's preferred? I'm willing to give it another go but would love your inputs.

    Also, has anyone tried sunflower butter? I've heard that's good too.

    I've never tried it, but I'm looking for a lower calorie alt to peanut butter. Can someone tell me the calories/serving?

    Not sure if the brand makes a difference, but I recently bought some almond butter (MaraNatha brand) and it has the same stats as my Skippy peanut butter give or take. Same calories (190), same Carbs (2%) and everything else.

    Maybe I just need to find a different brand?

    You can check out something called PB2 as an alternative to Peanut Butter. Almond Butter isn't that much lower cal because it's still a nut. :happy: BUUUT....if youre doing paleo you can use Almon Butter as an alternative to peanut butter since you're not supposed to have peanuts.
