A note about nut butters: When shopping for nut butters, the most important thing to look at is the ingredients list. Choose ones where the only ingredient is just the nut (a little salt is OK, too!). Many nut butters add unnecessary oils and sugar—skip these. Whether it's peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter or another nut or seed, we recommend choosing the nut you like best, as every nut offers a different group of nutrients that contribute to health.
