PEANUT BUTTER ALERNATIVES AND WHY

ALMOND BUTTER FOR A GREAT COMPLEXION
- Almond butter is a rich source of Vitamin E. It can provide almost 30 percent of your daily needs in 1 tablespoon.  Vitamin E helps protect cell membranes and guard against UV Radiation damage.  Almond butter is also higher in fiber and lower in sodium than peanut butter.

WALNUT BUTTER FOR DISEASE PREVENTION
Walnut butter has the highest levels of omega-3, a healthy fat that is predominantly in fish and helps boost the immune system and prevent heart disease.

CASHEW BUTTER FOR HEART HEALTH
More than half the fat in this nut butter comes from oleic acid, a heart healthy unsaturated fat that helps improve cholesterol and blood pressure.

HAZELNUT BUTTER FOR A MOOD BOOST
Another great source of skin protecting vitamin E.  Hazelnut butter also tends to be blended with cocoa which may help you keep calmer and more content.

SOY NUT BUTTER FOR BONE HEALTH
If you are allergic to peanuts, try soy nut butter.  It is similar to peanut butter in taste and texture.
