almond butter/nutella/apple butter

[Carmen829]

Hi everybody - How do you use almond butter? Is it like peanut butter? Can I use it in a sandwich? In a protein shake? Is it easy to spread?

Have you used Nutella? Sounds delish. Do you recommend this over almond butter?

I bought Apple Butter because the label made more sense when I compared it to almond butter. How do you use apple butter? I planned to spread it on a multigrain english muffin but wondered how else to use it.

Sorry for all the questions, but I always come to the Cathe forums for the best information.

Thank you.

Carmen.

Almond Butter is awesome, it spreads with a careful hand and determination, but is not as creamy as peanut butter. I could see it as an additive for anything; smoothies, cookies, hotdogs, coffee, a spoon..

Nutella is a chocolate fat bomb mixed with hazelnuts, absolutely delish, but not a great clean eating choice. That one does spread well

Apple butter, not a nut in the group, just apples. Used as a spread for just about anything, never been a fan. But they make it in huge quantities around here. Someone must love it.

Hi, Nutella is delish but addicting. I don't buy it anymore because I can't resist dipping spoonfulls of it into my canister of oats. Mmmmm.

Apple butter is good on an english muffin. Here is another idea. Put 1 Tbs of it in a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with 2 tsp sunflowerseeds and 1/3 sliced banana. I forget where I got this recipe from, Oxygen mag maybe, but it is yummy.

Nutella is totally addicting. I would never be able to keep it in the house. I would consider it more of a candy. Almond butter is supposed to be a better choice than peanut but I don't care for it very much. As for apple butter, well it's just kind of bland and boring.

This sounds delish!! I love cottage cheese and as I said I just bough a jar of apple butter. Thank you for this idea.

I use Almond Butter like I do Peanut Butter and I use Apple Butter like I do Jam.

I don't buy Nutella very often but when I do, it does not last. I buy for a treat for the kids but like I said not often at all (maybe one or twice a year).
