"They have a comparable protein content and roughly the same amount of calories; but, when it comes to fiber, almond butter beats peanut butter. A serving of almond butter (two tablespoons) has around 3.3 grams of fiber, whereas peanut butter has half that amount. There seems to be a trend focused on consuming as much protein as possible, but fiber is an underrated nutrient that's finally getting its time in the spotlight - and almond butter is a delicious way to ensure you get enough."
"Alongside being a fiber-rich nut butter, the spread also has peanut renditions beat when it comes to nutrients like vitamin E, copper, and magnesium. Best of all, almond butter's taste offers more depth than peanut butter, making it a top replacement for popular condiment. You can smear it on toast, stir it with olive oil and vinegar to make a nutty salad dressing, and so much more."
