When you want minerals, proteins, and healthy fats, any variety of nuts are some of the best snacks you’ll find – and that goes for nut butter as well.

But while there’s certainly a taste difference, is one better than the other – is almond butter better than peanut butter?

When it comes to calcium, almond butter has nearly seven times more than peanut butter, and about three times the amount of vitamin E. But for other vitamins and minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, you’ll find the same amount.

When it comes to fat, almond butter has about two grams more total than peanut butter.

So, while almond butter is probably the healthier overall, if you grab either, you’ll find plenty of health fats, protein, and plenty of minerals that you need.

As the year winds down, and the holidays get nearer, you may find yourself wanting to eat healthier. And it may be as simple as just not going to the store!

A new study shows that those who bought their groceries online spent a lot less on junk food than when they shopped in person.

And it wasn’t that they were buying all that much less – just $2.50 per grocery purchase and avoiding things like candy and frozen desserts.

Shoppers online found that there were simply less opportunities for impulse purchases – there were no display towers of items that they didn’t have on their list that they were then tempted to add to their cart.

Online shopping also allows pre-saved shopping lists, and filters for healthier options, which would limit what they see. And many who shopped in person needed to bring children along who would ask for those unhealthy items.

So, if you’re looking to eat healthier, it may be as easy as going online!
