Almond butter is an excellent nutritional source so when consumed as part of a balanced diet, can benefit a person of any age. It boasts significant doses of healthy fats, protein, slow-digesting carbs and fiber. There are about 100 calories per tablespoon of almond butter, but that primarily comes from protein and fiber, rather than basic carbohydrates. Each tablespoon also possesses an impressive 2 grams of protein, along with very high omega-3 fatty acid levels, which are unsaturated fats and thus good for heart health. When it comes to minerals and vitamins, almond butter delivers notable amounts of vitamin B, phosphorous, copper, magnesium, calcium, zinc, and iron. Finally, each tablespoon of almond butter also contains 1 gram of dietary fiber. The most impressive health benefits of almond butter include its ability to help improve the appearance of the skin, regulate diabetes, aid in weight loss, improve the metabolism and protect the cardiovascular system, among others.
Use it for your breakfast, snack, fruit, bread, or smoothies. It can also be used as an ingredient for your biscuits, sweets, and salads.
