However, their sources of calories differ significantly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carbohydrates<\/strong>: Nutella gets nearly half its calories from carbohydrates, packing 21g of carbs per serving. Almond butter has just 6g of carbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fat<\/strong>: The majority of calories in almond butter come from fat (14g per serving), mostly the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind. Nutella has slightly less fat at 12g per serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protein<\/strong>: Almond butter wins big in the protein department, providing 4g per serving versus just 2g in Nutella.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Winner: <\/strong>Almond butter, with its higher protein, lower carbs, and healthier fat profile.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamins_and_Minerals\"><\/span>Vitamins and Minerals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Calcium<\/strong>: Both spreads provide calcium, an essential mineral for bone health.

Nutella has 4.4mg versus 3.5mg in almond butter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Potassium<\/strong>: This mineral supports heart function and muscle contractions. Almond butter delivers 748mg per serving, dwarfing the 407mg in Nutella.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vitamin E<\/strong>: A potent antioxidant, vitamin E abounds in almond butter, which provides 24mg per serving.
