I've been actually really curious about other nut butters, but I don't know if I can find other nut butters in Walmart, the cost, and what the nutrition for the other nut butters are. ;-; (Curiousity kills me, does hazelnut butter have less calories per serving then peanut butter~?)

Rumor has it almond butter is freakin' awesome, though.

 I absolutely love almond butter.  I find most of my different nut butters at Meijer.  They are a little pricey, but way cheaper than Health Food Stores.

Seriously, what is pb2 I have never ever heard of it. Now that Ive read all the replies I am really curious.

 I never heard of it as well so I checked out the website.  Here are some things that I read:

Ingredients: Roasted Peanuts, salt, and sugar

Serving Size: 2 tablespoons (12 grams)

Servings Per Container: 16

Amount Per 2 Tablespoon Serving (*when mixed with water):

Calories      & nbsp;      &nbs p;       & nbsp;      &nbs p;53.2

Calories from Fat            16.8

• PB2 is made with premium quality peanuts that are slow-roasted to our specifications and pressed to remove the fat.   
• All natural with no artificial sweeteners or preservatives.
• Same consistency as full-fat peanut butter with all of the roasted peanut flavor, but with more than 85% less fat calories.

• Directions: Just mix 2 tablespoons of PB2 with 1 tablespoon of water and stir until smooth.
• Can be mixed directly with jelly or jam for a PB2 and Jelly sandwich.

I found a bread at Meijers that is called Vegtable Wheat.  It is low carb, high fiber and only 35 calories a slice.  It tastes comparable to wheat bread.  I toast it and put Apple Butter on it (15 cals a tblsp)  and for 100 calories I have a good snack.  Depending on the brand, most Apple Butter only has 4 carbs too.  My step-son is 7 and he does not love it, but I make grilled cheese with it and he likes it.
