BATTLE OF DRIED FRUIT CREAMS: CREAM OF ALMONDS AGAINST CREAM OF PEANUT<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Peanut butter is the queen of good fats, ask any Instagram fitness model or the people in your gym. <\/span>Peanut butter has been highly regarded for years due to its healthy fat matrix, food versatility, and the fact that it tastes much better than peanuts themselves.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Almond cream is a recent product and it is partly highly defended by millennials due to their thinking that the new is always better. <\/span>This has been an obvious trend due to the hype surrounding almond cream for being healthier than peanut butter (as always, the internet gives no reason to validate this). <\/span>We are going to analyze the two nut creams so you can decide between one of them thinking about your dietary needs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

WHY SHOULD YOU EAT DRIED FRUIT BUTTERS?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span><\/span>nuts and seeds<\/span><\/span><\/a> are the best plant foods for healthy fats. <\/span>The problem is that many of them don’t taste good and eating the amount you would need to balance your macros is a huge task that only a few paleo diet lovers could handle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nut creams are an amazing and versatile way to get these healthy fats into your diet. <\/span>They can be mixed with many foods and are ideal for many diets.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PEANUT CREAM: THE STATISTICS<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span><\/span>peanut butter<\/span><\/span><\/a> \u00a0generally is made from peanuts (at the least so expect), some oil and brown sugar. <\/span>There are some emulsifiers in cheaper brands, but natural peanut butter is increasing in popularity. <\/span>Our peanut butter is 100% natural and contains 100% pure whole peanuts. <\/span>Peanut butter is a classic because it provides healthy fats, high calories (564 Kcal \/ 100 g) and is relatively abundant due to its texture. <\/span>It also provides a decent dose of protein, vitamin E, B vitamins, magnesium, and phosphorous.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We can not help it: peanut butter is a staple in our diet and we cannot overlook versatility and flavor. <\/span>Peanut butter is amazing tasting and can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, sandwiches, eaten with fruit, or just eaten alone. <\/span>This versatility is combined with very few other foods, especially when comparing the flavor of peanut butter against, for example, that of avocado.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ALMOND CREAM<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span><\/span>almond cream<\/span><\/span><\/a> is softer and subtler than peanut butter, but they are very similar. <\/span>When it comes to calories, almond cream provides 612 Kcal \/ 100g, slightly more than peanut butter. <\/span>For starters, almond cream has a much better ratio of unsaturated saturated fat, which means better cardiovascular risk factors and overall health benefits.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is great, but at the cost of a much lower protein content. <\/span>Almond cream also has high levels of vitamin B, with even higher concentrations of magnesium and phosphorous, as well as copper and manganese. <\/span>Our almond cream comes in 1-kilo tubs and there’s even a dark chocolate flavor that’s great.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT IS THE SCORE?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

When we look at these two <\/span><\/span>nut creams<\/span><\/span><\/a> , there is a wide variation in the types that can be found and how they fit into your diet. <\/span>The first thing you should look at is looking for creams with a high content of nutrients. <\/span>They tend to be healthier and avoid adding unnecessary sugars and additives.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The real question is: crispy or soft?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Crunchy peanut butter has higher fiber values, while soft peanut butter has higher concentrations of micronutrients. <\/span>Crunchy peanut butter has a better unsaturated fat content, but also has a reduced protein count. <\/span>The fact is, these variations are mostly shallow: Unless you’re eating 100g at a time, you won’t notice much of a practical difference in choosing peanut butter or the textures of almond creams.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mixes are another great option: We have a <\/span><\/span>triple<\/span><\/span><\/a> \u00a0nut <\/span>butter<\/span><\/a> that mixes cashews, almonds and hazelnuts to provide a more balanced nutritional profile. <\/span>Also, it tastes like hazelnut, and it tastes great. <\/span>If you feel like it, you can also try <\/span><\/span>pistachio butter<\/span><\/span><\/a> \u00a0because whoever dares wins.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4 IDEAS TO EAT PEANUT CREAM OR ALMOND CREAM<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

So how can you eat these excellent nut creams? <\/span>Here we leave you some healthy ideas.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1) OAT<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Mixing a tablespoon of any nut cream with oatmeal can transform a breakfast. <\/span>Eating a good breakfast is a great way to get going and nut and oatmeal butters are a great slow-digesting breakfast.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2) IN TOAST<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Classic breakfast foods, just pour a healthy tablespoon of peanut butter or almond on toast. <\/span>If you take almond cream, you may want to combine it with another flavor, you can add <\/span><\/span>zero-calorie syrup<\/span><\/span><\/a> or fresh fruit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3) PROTEIN SHAKE<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Are you following a diet that requires a high calorie intake or do you need a recovery shake after a hard workout? <\/span>A protein shake with almond or peanut butter can make a big difference. <\/span>If you’re looking for something soft, try almond cream, while <\/span>chocolate <\/span><\/span>whey protein<\/span><\/span><\/a> and peanut butter is a perfect match.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4) AS A COMPLEMENT TO YOUR FOOD<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Many dietitians have popularized nut creams as an accompaniment to their meal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PEANUT CREAM VS ALMOND CREAM: IS \u200b\u200bTHERE A WINNER?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The answer is no. <\/span>As with everything else in diet, nutrition, and human performance, the only established answer is “it depends.” <\/span>The two creams play a relatively similar role in the diet and have similar applications: they are both good fats. <\/span>There is no clear winner here because they address the same problem and they are both effective. <\/span>Remember that a food is only healthy or unhealthy in relation to your complete diet, your goals and the complete dietary context.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Peanut butter is a popular staple food, but almond cream (and its variations) are certainly more versatile. <\/span>If you disagree or (somehow) don’t like peanut butter, dark chocolate variations will make your life that much easier.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
