Product Information

The glycemic index for both is unknown – mixed nut butter has different nuts and seeds in it that makes it hard to know exactly what the index would be, but it’s likely low. Nutella, on the other hand, is also unknown but estimated to be high due to the massive amount of sugar content in it. Talk to your physician before eating these if you have concerns about your blood sugar levels spiking!

Pros and Cons of Nut Butters

Peanut butter is also available in powdered form, which contains higher amounts of protein and fiber but lower fat levels. Uses Nutella, on the other hand, has a very sweet and chocolatey taste. The texture for it is smooth and creamy, even a little oily. Mixed nut butter’s texture is also creamy, but tends to be slightly grainy due to the chia seeds in the Kirkland mixed nut butter. Blend on high for 4-5 minutes, stopping the machine to cool down and to also scrape the sides down with a spatula a few times.Brazil nuts are the highest in saturated fat – almonds and hazelnuts are the lowest. If you eat a range of nuts, you’re most likely to benefit from all the different nutrients they can provide. How healthy are nut butters? Use warm nuts to blend– If you’re wondering why roast the nuts in the first place, well it is optional of course. However, roasting the nuts/seeds allow their oils to begin releasing, and they become much easier to blend. Roasting nuts, in particular, also reduces their phytate content and makes them easier to digest. If using raw nuts/seeds, you may need to add some additional oil to the recipe, but I like to avoid this whenever possible. Making your own food items at home also creates space for tons of creativity. Instead of plain peanut butter, try making this Mixed Nut Butter, made with a blend of nuts and honey-roasted peanuts! This nuanced, salty, and sweet nut butter is the perfect accompaniment to any recipe that calls for peanut butter!

This nut butter came to be as an idea from my mother in law as a solution to our pantry overflow. Yes, Alex’s mom was cleaning out our pantry (she is a saint!) and found a million different containers and bags with leftover nuts. Slivered almonds, unsalted pecans, salted cashews, pistachios… You two need to make a nut butter with all of these! she laughed. Well, we finally took her seriously: and we’re so glad we did! Smooth nut butters may contain more fat than crunchy varieties, as more of the nuts' cells will be broken down. This isn’t overly surprising, as peanut butter can be found in most supermarkets (and many homes) around the world. While the consistency and taste aren’t entirely different between almond and peanut butter, almond butter has stronger nutty flavors, and it isn’t quite as sweet.The type and range of nutty products has grown enormously, including a choice of nut butters and nut milks as well as whole nuts.
