Nut Butters

Ingredients

• 2 Cups Roasted Nuts (any)

Speed: High
Time: 90-120 sec using tamper stick

Buying organic peanut butter is great, but is expensive. By making your own, genuinely nut-based nut butters you could eat better, save money and know exactly how your food has been processed.

Nuts are a great source of fiber, protein and essential fatty acids, and if you don’t add saturated fats and sugars, are an excellent topping for toast and crackers or to give a zing to waffles or pancakes. You can use home-made nut butters to flavor soups and stir-fries too.

Instead of peanuts, why not try almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pistachios or walnuts? You can also add seeds such as sesame, flax and linseed to the mixture, to suit your own tastes and dietary preferences.
