    Oh god, yes.

    Altho I actually prefer sunflower seed butter to all of the above.

    I've never heard of this. Definitely adding it to this weekend's shopping list!
    @CafeRacer808 I think you'll like it! It's something I always keep in my cupboard now, once in a blue moon I buy PB but mostly SF nut butter because it's just so dang tasty. :p

    TJ's brand is $4.99 a jar, Sunbutter brand I've seen for $7.99 - $ 8.99 a jar. I think they were the company that came out with it? I've tried both in my opinion TJ's is by far the better tasting one.

    I felt that way about Trader Joe's cookie butter when I tred the Biscof brand. It just wasn't the same.

    My problem with ANY kind of nut butter is I'm a stick a spoon in the jar for just a taste and 8 tastes later, I'm still not logging it kind of girl so it's rare I buy it anymore.

    I like both! I avoid eating huge amounts due to the calories and carbs, but when I crave something sweet, a measured tablespoon of Justin's Honey Almond Butter does the trick!

    You're talking about their Speculoos, right? I swear that stuff is made out of crack. I can easily eat an entire jar in one sitting. Hence my presence here on MFP. :D

    I ALWAYS CALL IT CRACK!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHY SOMEONE ELSE CALLING IT CRACK EXCITES ME SO MUCH!!!!

    Whew! Sorry about that. In other news, John Lennon pretends to snort a bottle of coca cola in A Hard Day's Night. :)

    Pretty much any nut butter is going to be pretty equal in nutritional value. Just remember to measure carefully because they are high in (healthy) fat and calories.

    I like keeping PB2 around the house for when I want the Peanut Butter flavor in baking or drinks but without the excess calories. I can't say I've ever made it into a paste to substitute peanut butter because it is different, but it tastes pretty close to the same.
