Which is your favorite and why?

I like almond butter, but its a little more expensive than I would like, so I generally stick to natural peanut butter. I have been making peanut butter in my vitamix, I'm thinking of trying to make almond butter in it as well..

    I like natural peanut butter better, because I think it's got a better texture and flavour than the others. Almond butter doesn't really have a flavour, to me! The only other one I've tried is pecan butter, which is DELICIOUS, but the texture was really off-putting. I don't know if it wasn't made correctly or what, but YUM for flavour.

    My answer is yes, they are all sooo good. Sunflower is probably the best.

    I like Krema or Trader Joes Natural Peanut Butter with no salt added. The only ingredient is peanuts. My wife likes Barney Butter Almond Butter. I do too, but like you said peanut butter is cheaper.

    I make hazelnut butter in my Vitamix. Buying raw nuts in bulk on Amazon and roasting in oven or skillet, 10 oz comes out to less than $4. :)

    I have always loved peanut butter, but in the past few months have switched to almond butter, which I now love even more! I actually
    tried it for a switch because I read of it's high nutritive value, MUCH more nutritive. So, after finding I really liked it I decided for a small amount of extra money I am also get quite a bit more for my health as well.
