When making breakfast this morning, I chose something full of protein and would keep me feeling full longer! Not only was it a healthy choice, but easy&quick. Todays agenda consists of a trip to the gym and grocery store!
The title of this post is Almond VS Peanut butter, and I am here to tell you the SKINNY on the 2!
There is no large difference when it comes to the nutritional value of each nut butter, both provide a great deal of protein, vitamins, and healthy fats. However, research has shown that peanut butter provides a little more in saturated fats than almond butter. This is due to added sugars to keep it preserved longer on the shelf. Peanut butter is a more common nut butter than Almond, so commerically for shoppers its a more economical choice. Almond butter IS about $2 more than peanut butter *always check for in store special* , but its bold taste is worth it if you ask me!
Remember to read your labels, Almond butter has the same serving size as peanut butter, 2 TBSP, so spread wisely!
Not shown in the picture is the delicious black plum that went along with my celery&almond butter!
