Unsweetened Powdered Almond Butter, 8 Ounces

Got this to replace the powdered peanut butter - can no longer have peanuts. The two products are not quite the same. This is salt and sugar free - which is fine if you just want to add to a shake or on your oatmeal. But to mix for a PBJ it is a bit lacking in flavor and appearance. It looked more like paper mache and kind of tasted like it too lol. I have since added sweetner and some salt to what is left in my container (upon the advice of someone). Hoping that will help some. I will continue to use though for oatmeal and shakes if nothing else. I do love Barney products - esp the creamy almond butter- so yummy!!

I picked up this Almond Butter mainly because I like adding nut butters to smoothies, but the traditional creamy versions can be messy and harder to portion. This powdered version solves a lot of that. It mixes easily and gives you the almond flavor without dealing with oily jars or thick scoops of nut butter. Most of the time I use it in smoothies, and it blends in really well. It adds a nice almond richness and nutty flavor without making the drink overly heavy. One of the biggest benefits for me is that the saturated fat content is noticeably lower than typical almond or peanut butters, which is something I pay attention to when choosing ingredients I use regularly. Even with that reduction, the flavor still comes through well. Another thing I appreciate is how easy it is to control the texture. If you want something closer to traditional almond butter, you can mix it with a little water to create a spread. For smoothies or protein shakes, you can just add the powder directly, which makes it quick and clean compared to dealing with sticky nut butter spoons. Pros Much less messy than traditional nut butters Blends easily into smoothies and shakes Unsweetened with no added sugar or salt Lower saturated fat than many traditional nut butter options Versatile since it can be mixed into a spread if desired Cons The flavor is slightly lighter than full-fat almond butter Not quite as creamy or rich if you're expecting the exact texture of regular almond butter Overall, this is a really convenient option if you regularly use nut butters in smoothies or recipes and want something easier to work with. It still delivers a good almond flavor while being cleaner to use and a bit lighter nutritionally, which makes it a product I’ll likely keep using.

It is noteworthy that this product is made of blanched almonds, which means the skin is removed from the almonds to produce the product. This means the taste of the product is coming from blanched almonds, and not from whole roasted almonds. Regular almond butter on the supermarket shelf typically comes from whole almonds, and not from blanched almonds. A fair flavor comparison for this product would be to taste blanched almonds before you taste this product. Another fair flavor comparison would be blanched almond flour. Blanched almonds have a very mild, almost bland flavor. Marzipan is typically made from a combination of blanched almonds and a special variety of bitter almonds that impart the characteristic of bitter almond flavor. In the industry, the characteristic bitter almond flavor that we recognize is provided by the addition of almond extract. Without the extract or the bitter almond component, blanched almonds are rather bland. So one may add a couple of drops of almond extract to this product to impart a marzipan taste from this product, if desired. Likewise, a near-flavor comparison for this product is blanched almonds, and not the flavor of regular almond butter that we know in the store that comes from almonds with their skins. I give this product 4 (out of 5) stars because it is a useful low-fat option for consumers who wish to make use of almonds, but prefer to keep the fat content down. I would have given such a product 5 stars if it were certified organic. This product maiy likely be valuable to consumers who have a dislike for peanut products, or who are allergic to peanuts, because this product is manufactured in a peanut-free facility.

This is, by far, the best tasting almond peanut butter for smoothies I’ve had. It has great mixability and flavor. The calories are negligible only two tablespoons equal 45 calories. And the only ingredient is almonds. The only downside is the size is small per bottle. I wish it came in a larger size of ounces per bottle. But this is really good, powdered almond peanut butter. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

I absolutely loved this product, but I haven’t been able to find it in a while. I reached out to the manufacturer and this was their response: “Thank you for reaching out to us at Barney Butter! We regret to inform you that the almond powders have been discontinued. Kind Regards, The Barney Butter Team” I guess by now I should expect that nothing good will survive 2026. So this review is more of a eulogy for a dead product. I probably shouldn’t waste my time on it, but some irrational part of me hopes barney (or one of their competitors), will bring it back. One of my favorite breakfasts was oatmeal with a cinnamon almond butter drizzle (reconstituted with water and mct oil). Because the almond butter had a neutral flavor and wasn’t pre-sweetened, I could get the perfect balance of sweet, creamy texture and spice. It also worked very well in smoothies, creamy style salad dressings, and low fat pesto. The pesto, in particular, will be missed. I haven’t been able to find any alternatives. Because of a health condition, I can’t tolerate the fat levels in normal almond butter. The only defatted/powdered alternative is PB2, but it has a completely different flavor profile. It’s very strong, like they were trying to make a fake peanut butter instead of making something that tastes like almonds. I bought it once, and it was so vile I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. If anyone does read this, it might be worth using the contact form on their website to ask them to bring it back. It not change their minds, but for me, trying anything feels better than doing nothing.

Not very flavorful.

Excellent choice, as advertised.

Zero taste, I wish I had listened to the reviews and tried a different brand

No sabe a crema de almendra en lo absoluto ! 😖

I expected a finer grind. The powder is too gritty. There are better brands.

La verdad no me gusto el sabor, y la consistencia no era muy buena

I have repurchased it and will do it when I am running out of product. Love it!
