    For me, I will eat the entire jar of Nutella so I stick to both organic peanut or almond butter which I can eat 1 or 2 tablespoons at a sitting.
    I spread the nut butters on apples, bananas or sourdough pretzels.

    If I were to choose, I'd go with almond butter, as I like the taste better than peanut butter and I find it has the macro and micronutrients that suits my diet better. Nutella is crack - one taste and I'll end up in a back alley dumpster covered in empty Nutella jars.

    By the way, have you tried hazelnut butter. Very good, too!

    Whatever you like. But nutella has added sugar, and the other two should not.

    I like almond butter more than peanut butter, just flavor-wise.

    Nutella :drinker: Made me a fan of hazelnuts

    Nutella is a trigger for me. I'd rather mix cacao powder and almond butter with a little honey and call it good. So.. almond butter.

    It isn't any more processed then any of the nut butters. It is just peanuts. It actually has less ingredients than 95% of most peanut butters. They just remove the oil (fat).

    Nutella is a trigger for me as well. I usually have peanut butter. I either make it myself in my Vitamix, or I'll buy 100% peanuts butter (ie, the ingredients literally say: Just peanuts)

    Almond butter goes great with fruit though. :)

    almond butter! just the almonds. :) nutella is more of a treat. natural peanut butter is also fine but almond butter is a great choice for getting your vitamin e. Also, almond butter is from a tree nut, whereas peanuts are actually legumes and can cause bloating in some individuals.

    okay, i agree. nutella is a trigger for me and for me, it's like crack in a jar!

    Ha! This! I bought my sons some Nutella last night, and let me tell ya...I'm staying the hell away from!!! That's a dessert food, IMO.
    I eat 2 Tbs of natural peanut butter (ground fresh at the grocery store) on whole wheat toast every day at work for lunch. I really just love the taste of peanuts I guess, but almond butter is also very good. I general like my almonds whole though as a snack, plus the butter is a little expensive for daily use. I recommend doing some taste tests to see what you like best, and definitely read the labels. I think the Smuckers Natural PB is very good, and there is nothing added except for a little bit of salt. Most peanut butters taste different from one another because they have all kinds of extra added junk. But hey, I still buy Jif Creamy because that's what my very fit husband and sons really like.

    Nutella is crap and highly processed as well. Almond butter and peanut butter are the best choices as long as they dont have anything but peanuts and almonds in them, i.e.no sugar, oil, etc

    Almond butter is more nutritious than PB. Nutella isn't really a nut butter, in my mind. It's great, I buy it all the time. But it has the nutritional profile of chocolate frosting with a few grams more protein, due to the nuts. The others are usually purely nuts or nuts and salt, assuming you're buying the 'natural' versions.

    I'm all about the almond butter because of the micro nutrients and because I prefer the taste. It can be considerably more expensive, though. But in the end I think it is really just a personal choice. I'm a big fan of nuts in general. . Nutella is the devil, at least for me, and so I wouldn't dare bring it in the house.

    You can get fresh peanut butter from Whole Foods. Only Peanuts! You squeeze them in the machine yourself.
