I had been wanting to try almond butter for a while (like a year), but they don't carry it at my normal grocery store. That meant that I had to go to a "special" store to get it. That = waiting an entire year until I finally talked myself into going to two different grocery stores to do my grocery shopping, so that I could get me some almond butter. Yes. I am that pathetic. I hate grocery shopping. It's a character flaw.
When I finally had the almond butter in my kitchen, I took one taste of it, said I didn't like it, and put it in my pantry closet as I bitterly mumbled under my breath about the $4 wasted.
It seems that everyone likes almond butter. I started to wonder if I was one of the rare few that didn't like the stuff, or if I had possibly been too hard on the poor almond butter. So, I took it back out, and
put it to the test.
If I was going to bring almond butter into my life, it needed to be just as good as peanut butter, on the things I normally put peanut butter on. (did that make sense?) So, I tried almond butter and peanut butter, side by side on the things I usually put PB on:
Crackers:
Peanut butter: 
Delish as always.
Almond butter:
Not too shabby. I can definitely see myself doing this.
Apple slices:
Almond butter:
DELISH!
Peanut butter:
Good. But I liked the almond butter better.
I was as shocked as you.
And last, I had to see if AB could replace the PB in my PB and J:
And it did.
Deliciously.
Here are the facts:
Peanut butter:
Almond Butter:
Almond butter has less saturated fat. It has significantly less sodium, which earns it some brownie points from me. And it has more vitamin E, calcium, and iron.
I've decided that the almond butter can stay.
No body was more happy about this then the almond butter.
Do you like almond butter?
What do you like to spread your peanut butter, or almond butter on?
