Almond butter is much better for you! It's pretty delicious too. Tastes similar to peanut butter, but has a distinct almond flavor. It's amazing when you're cutting carbs!!!
Forgive me if this has already been answered, but WHY is almond butter better for you? They both have good fats, about the same amount of calories...I don't get it. Unless the default assumption is peanut butter like Jif or Skippy or something, in that case, I totally understand.0 -
skippy natural peanut butter spread with honey is AMAZING! 32 grams = 200 cals so I don't have it that often, but I love it when I do.. Especially with a banana!!
(ingredients: roasted peanuts, palm oil, peanut oil, salt, sugar, honey)0 -
Peanut Butter is one of the most disgusting things in the world to me
^^This, I can't believe so many people like is, it's awful, horrible stuff. I've never liked it, even as a kid when all my friends were having it on sandwiches :sick:0 -
Peanut butter is one of the most amazing things on this planet. YAY.0

YAY YAY YAY. love it on celery.0

Peanut butter is good, but not hydrogenated peanut butter like Jif ! Hydrogenated stuff is bad for your heart. Adams and Laura Scudder and other brands of natural are good.0

hell yeah!0

AGAIN: The NATURAL versions of Jif, Skippy and others DO NOT HAVE hydrogenated oil in them. They are peanuts, sugar, oil, salt. Period.
Not AS healthy as the "true" naturals, but not bad.0 -

Agree with the second part. And while I like almonds. And I like almond butter, it DOES NOT taste like peanut butter. If I want peanut butter, I want PEANUT BUTTER.0 -
I have yet to try almond butter!0

If you can budget it into your daily calorie allotment, why not enjoy it more often? My cals are set at 1430, and I average 2-4 tablespoons of the stuff every day.0

YAY! I love it on a juicy green apple or with celery.0
-
PB is the devil0
-
Definitely Yes!
I have one tablespoon of peanut butter on toast nearly every night.... but I take the time to measure out that tablespoon or it becomes 2... or 3.... very quickly! LOL0 -
Peanut butter! YAY x 10000000
Almond butter! YAY x 10000000
both are very addictive0 -
The texture of almond butter is... Something to get used to. Kinda like glue mixed with nut shards. For this reason, I prefer peanut butter, but I'll use almond butter in shakes or other mixtures when texture isn't an issue0

Crazy Richard's PB is my fav! Only 1Tbsp a day tho.0
-
I'm on Paleo, so properly PB is a no because it is a legume. But, it has a very low glycemic index, so I do eat peanuts and PB on occasion. Mostly for dipping apples in.0

I use Kirkland's natural PB found at Costco. It literally only has peanuts and salt (which means they do recommend refrigerating it) and only has something like 85mg sodium per 2Tbsp. Only 2G sugar. And saturated fats only 3G out of total fat 15G. Not as bad as some regular commercial peanut butters! I love peanut butter so I changed to this one to limit the sugar issue, I would cry if I had to give it up altogether!! :sad:0
-
yay - i use it for as a snack. 1 tblsp + 1 oz of almonds. just once in everyday. both of my almonds and peanut butter are unsweetened and unsalted.0
