Warm Pear with Almond Butter

Spread 1 tbsp. of almond butter across 1 sliced pear. Sprinkle with cinnamon and warm in microwave for about 20 seconds.

Almond butter is a great alternative to peanut butter. It contains zero cholesterol, low fat (of those are"good fats" such as monounsaturated fats), more protein and it increases your good cholesterol. PB contains cholesterol and more fat including "bad fats" such as trans fats. The flavor may need some getting used to, but cinnamon sweetens it without extra sugar. Cinnamon provides antioxidant properties as well.
