    PB (I don't care if it's going to kill me. Something will, eventually.) Also, dark chocolate cashew butter is amazing.

    Well I am pretty partial to peanut butter, but for health reasons I'd go almond... sadly, I haven't found yet an almond butter that I like. Can anybody recommend a brand? Maybe I will switch. :)

    PS, as long as whatever nut butter you are eating doesn't have any hydrogenated oils in it, I think you'll be okay!

    Almond butter. i would have never had it until good ole WINCO came to town!

    I love, LOVE, LOVE Winco!!! There's one right by my work. LOL

    So I've tried the brand name almond butter, DON'T DO IT!!! It does not even hold a candle to the freshly ground almond butter that you can get at Winco.

    I really like the taste of peanut butter, so that's what I eat.

    Most definately almond! Peanuts are not even nuts! They are in the bean family. Also, if you follow the blood type diet, you will find that peanuts are bad for all blood types to eat. They have harmful lectins in them that affect everyone. All foods have lectins, and they can affect people in all different ways, some are beneficial, some are neutral, and some are harmful and it is different for every blood type. Read this if you want to know more about how lectins effect the human body.

    Interesting because I have eaten peanut butter nearly every day of my life and am in perfect health and until I got my IUD, lost weight at a rate of nearly 2 pounds a week even when I weighed within my healthy range.

    So I think I'll keep eating it. And peanuts, too.

    I don't know if it's avaliable in the US but i LOVE the brand "Nuts to You". Personally I prefer it over Marantha. Their Almond Butter and Almond Hazelnut Butter (my first impression was tastes like ferrero rocher :O ) are to DIE FOR.
    :D

    Justins Honey almond butter is awesome! Just has a hint of sweetness and all the goodness of almonds :) On a side note, does anybody know why almonds and almond butter have so much fat in them but the same is not true for almond milk? I mean yeah its diluted and all but I would still think it would be decentl calorie loaded?

    btw, I love almond milk (unsweetened) but just wondered. Sorry if it has an obvious answer and I am just that stupid!

    Both are good. They contain different amounts of unsaturated fats poly/mono. Just make sure you try to find the ones with 0mg of salt. And they must not contain any partially hydrogenated oils. Go for the All natural ones.
