Good Morning BITOG. My brother seems to think almond butter is way better. I said moms homemade is probably healthier since she uses unsalted peanuts and walnuts
 
You can also buy unsalted almond butter. Almonds are good for you. I guess it comes down to what is better for you, an almond or peanut. From what I've read, almond butter is tad bit better for you.
 
I'm slightly allergic to peanuts now and every tree nut except for almonds, so I'd choose almond butter. LOL.

I think the brand matters. Since almond butter is more niche, it probably has less sugar than peanut butter. I used to eat a lot of peanut butter before it started to bother me. There is a big difference between Skippy and the "healthy" peanut butter. Skippy tastes a lot better.

I've been eating sunflower butter. It's more expensive than peanut butter and the oil separates so you need to mix it back together. The taste is excellent.
 
I love mom’s walnut and peanut butter she makes tons of in her Vita Mix. Tastes better to me than store stuff.
