We’re big fans of peanut butter at our house. If it can be peanut butter flavored, we’ve got it! But we also have almond butter and even some pecan butter on hand, as well. I especially love fruit (apples and bananas) along with a bit of nut butter!
But I never really thought too much about the benefits that nuts and butter made from nuts offers! I mean, I knew there was lots of protein and some good fats in there, but that’s about it. So when Kaylee from Ghergich & Co. contacted me about an infographic along these lines, I was intrigued! Check this out…
Now I really feel the need to make some cashew butter, don’t you?! I love these ideas!

Of all the allergies to different foods I had as a child and have thankfully outgrown O was never allergic to nuts of any kind. What I didn’t know was how good they really are for you–help with lowering blood sugar? Guess who is going to try this out.
I’ve always wanted to make my own nut butter – I’ve never met a nut butter that I didn’t like. I love making smoothies with peanut butter, almond milk and frozen bananas. I love all the health benefits of eating nut butters.
I am obsessed with making my own almond butter- SO good!!! I am going to have to try a few of your recipes. I think nut butters are the best!
I need to try making nut butter!! It sounds so good and I love that you would know what is in it plus all the other benefits!
We love nut butters! I personally love almond butter but I recently tried cashew butter and really loved the taste!
My wife LOVES cashew butter. If the silly nuts weren’t so darned expensive!
I have never had or made nut butter. Will have to try mixing it in with my morning smoothie.
I love peanut butter! This is a fabulous infographic. You have me wanting to try other nut butters…pecan is calling my name. LOL

I LOVE Almond butter and would love to try making it at some point! I’ve never tried Walnut butter and that definitely sound interesting. Thanks for sharing as I could probably save a ton of money by making these at home!
Nut butter is on my to try list. Have the nuts, just didn’t have an easy recipe. Now I have no excuse. Love the muffin recipe. Can’t wait to try that as well.
That’s great and amazing. Thanks for sharing about it! I can’t wait to try that.
I like to add it into my smoothies. I need to try several kinds though!
Beautiful and very useful infographic! I don’t think I appreciated nut butter enough. There’s so much to make with it and a solid nutritional value as long as it’s consumed in proper amounts.
Almond butter sounds good. I like almonds but not a big fan of peanuts or peanut butter so maybe I’ll give that a try. Great post to show the benefits of each one. I now know there are more option out there for me.
The only problem with nut butters = so addicting and if they’re not all natural (and ground at the store) a lot of packaged varieties include filler ingredients that are not healthy!
I keep hearing about the health benefits of nut butter but never really knew how to make it. It doesn’t look like it is too difficult to make right at home.
