Almond Butter

“WHAT YOU CAN MAKE”
– Grind

Making your own natural, preservative-free nut butters is so easy. Try a variety of flavors for sandwiches, fruit dips, healthy snacks, or a peanut butter smoothie. Almond butter can also add nutty flavor to Asian soups and sauces.

Ingredients

Unsalted almond, roasted 600g (4 cups)

Procedures

Place ingredient into the Vitamix container and put the lid on;
Start the machine on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed;
Open the lid plug, use the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades;
A high-pitched chugging sound will be heard in the first minute. Once the butter begins to flow freely through the blades, the motor sound will change and become low and laboring;
Run the machine for 40 seconds or until smooth;
Store in an airtight container. It can also be frozen for longer storage.

TIPS: If using raw almonds, you will need to use 1/4 cup of oil or liquid to create a creamy texture. If you choose to roast your own raw almonds, ensure that they are roasted at 350°F for at least 10-15 minutes. This toasting, combined with blending on high speed, is what allows the natural oils to be released from inside the nuts, and is vital for creating a smooth texture instead of a paste.
