1.    Almond Butter

Almond butter has become all the rage when it comes to substitutions for peanut butter in school lunches. And many kids say they love it.

According to Health.com, there are many great benefits of almond butter. Not only is it a decent source of protein, but it also contains monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy. Plus, it’s similar to peanut butter when it comes to its calorie count. And it is even said to be lower in saturated fat than its rival, which is a double bonus when it comes to health.

2.    Sunflower Seed Butter

We all gnawed on sunflower seeds in our childhood, perhaps spitting the shells on the baseball field.

According to SF Gate, sunflower seed butter is created by blending and grinding sunflower seeds into a paste, much like peanuts. The result is a tasty concoction with just 99 calories per tablespoon. This option is rich in unsaturated fats. In fact, 90 percent of the fat in sunflower seed butter is said to be unsaturated. Plus, just a tablespoon of sunflower seed butter is a great source of both vitamin E and magnesium.

3.    Nutella

It’s no secret that the world loves Nutella. And why wouldn’t we? It tastes fabulous. However, this tasty chocolate/hazelnut spread is loaded with sugar. Just two tablespoons are said to have 21 grams, which nearly caps out the amount you’re supposed to eat in a day. So yes, try Nutella for a fun treat. However, take its sugar content into account.
