    Almond butter I get at the health food store. Peanut butter I do NOT use Kraft--too much sugar. Buy the all natural.

    I like the Smuckers natural honey peanut butter. But I rarely eat it. But definitely, whatever you get, get it natural. It's a lot less processed and less sugars even with the honey kind. It does have to be stirred up but I'll take stirring my peanut butter over the sugars and processed garbage any day. Besides, sometimes it can be it's own little arm workout lol.

    I make my own almond butter but, if you're going to buy it, just make sure that the only ingredient is almonds...and maybe salt. Many brands put in a ton of unnecessary sugar.

    I usually get Justin's Almond butter, or Artisana's walnut/cashew butter.

    Once Again Organic. No salt, no sugar, and very delish.

    Peanuts are legumes not nuts. So if you want a nut butter, use Almond butter.

    Smuckers all natural? Better in the wallet and no added sugar. When I shop at SAMs club they have an all natural almond butter not sure what the brand is though. I love me some peanut butter

    Artisana brand raw almond butter, raw walnut cashew butter -- really really good (and unfortunately too expensive). Just the nuts -- no salt, sugar or anything else.

    I buy the Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter and love it. Although, when I first tried it I didn't like it. I'm sure it was because I was use to the Peanut Butter that was loaded with sugar and other unpronounced ingredients. I've tried Almond Butter, it's okay for an alternative.

    I like Justin's. If there's a Fresh Thyme store close to you, you can grind raw almond butter.

    If you have a food processor make your own. Cuisinart and a jar of dry roasted peanuts, I do unsalted. Process until past the ball stage and smooth (it takes a while, be patient!) A pinch of kosher salt, a tsp of olive oil and a quick splash of sweetener of your choice (I like agave, honey, or maple syrup). You can taste the peanuts!! If you are a lover of peanut butter you'll never go back! There are videos you can watch to see how long to process.

    I love Trader Joe's creamy peanut butter - peanuts and salt are the only ingredients and it's half the cost of Smuckers and a fourth the cost of Justin's. Justin's almond butter is the bomb...but way too pricey and so tasty that I end up eating too much.

    I like to fresh grind almond or peanut butter in the bulk department. It's way cheaper and there are no other added ingredients or preservatives.
