10 Great Ways To Eat Almond Butter
Serve Almond Butter With Greek Yogurt and Granola
One excellent way to eat almond butter is to serve it with Greek yogurt and granola.
This would make a very healthy breakfast, and it would also make a smaller, great snack for the afternoon. To make it even healthier, you can add some extra ingredients.
You can use fresh, or frozen fruit for fiber, which will pair very well with the almond butter. Banana especially is a very common pairing. You can use add some seeds for some extra protein and healthy fat.

Almond butter makes a great topping for oatmeal.
Almond butter is quite sweet in flavor. This means by adding almond butter, you can reduce, or completely eliminate the need for other sugars.
Raw Oatmeal is incredibly healthy and full of fiber. It’s one of the best breakfast foods because it releases energy slowly throughout the day.
Adding almond butter to oatmeal is a great way of making oatmeal healthier.
Apple and Almond Butter
A very common snack is peanut butter and apple. It’s light, healthy and very tasty. It works as a great snack because the apple has high fiber content, while the peanut butter is high in protein and fats.
If you do not like peanut butter, or you want to try a new method, use almond butter instead. Many people find they prefer almond butter, and it’s just as healthy.
Make A Smoothie
One way to use almond butter is to make a smoothie.
There are dozens of great smoothie recipes online, but you do not have to overcomplicate things. One of my favorite and simplest smoothie recipes just involves a couple of ingredients, including almond butter.
For this, all you need is some: 1 frozen banana, 1-2 tbsp almond butter, and ¾ cup cashew milk.
You can substitute the milk, but I find cashew works best. I do not recommend using almond butter because the almond flavor becomes too overpowering. You can also use fresh bananas if you would prefer.
- Place the frozen bananas into a food processor, with a small amount of milk.
- Blitz the bananas until they are blended.
- Pour in ¾ cups of cashew milk, and blend again.
- Add 1-2 tbsp of almond butter to the blender, and blitz until smooth.
- Pour into a glass, and enjoy!
It is a very simple recipe that can be adjusted to your preferences.
