I keep a small plastic container of fresh almond butter in my little fridge under my desk at work. I keep a measuring tablespoon in my drawer and have a tablespoon every now and then. Kyp, you're right, it's really just a bite, but it has lots of calories, so I try to limit myself. I think it's a good idea to have it along with veggies because eating fat and protein at the same time as your carbs reduces the impact of the carbs on your blood sugar.

I've never had almond butter go bad, but I only get about four to six ounces at a time, and it's so yummy, I finish it off within a week.
