    10 Delicious Recipes Using Almonds and Almond Butter

    Published: Feb 23, 2015 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Almonds are packed with lots of nutritional benefits, and being a mild-flavored nut, they’re incredibly versatile, too. Almond butter makes a perfect soup base; they’re delicious as part of pilafs and noodle dishes, and are a great choice for healthy dessert treats. Here are some of our favorites, starting with this tasty and nourishing Simple Quinoa Pilaf with Peas and Almonds.

    Almond Brussels sprouts soup

    Elegant and richly flavored, Almond-Brussels Sprouts Soup features a myriad of veggies, with almond butter as its base.

    Soba Noodles with Green Beans and Almonds

    Perfect green beans seem to be available only for a month or two in the summer. This dish is a nice way to highlight them during that brief window, but I like Soba Noodles with Green Beans and Almonds so much that I use whole organic frozen green beans to make it any time of year.

    Sautéed Carrots with Almonds

    Sautéed Carrots with Almonds is simple side dish of carrots embellished with almonds and herbs; it brings color and natural sweetness to the dinner plate.

    Almond butter is a good addition to smoothies. Gently spiced with cinnamon and ginger, this Butternut Squash Smoothie is packed with flavor and nutrients. A dollop of almond butter adds to the rich, mellow flavor.
