Almond Butter

Almond Butter
Yield: 1 pound

3 cups almonds
1/2 tsp Celtic grey sea salt

1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2.  Place almonds on a cookie sheet.  Bake for 10-14 minutes until they start turning dark gold (or medium-roasted).
3.  Let the almonds cool completely to room-temperature.
4.  Then, place the almonds and sea salt in Vitamix blender.
5.  Turn it on to variable speed, and increase the speed to 8, then turn to high.  Use the scraper and push the almonds down into the blades.  Blend until you have reached desired consistency of nut butter.
6.  Bon appetite!

*If you only have a food processor, just place nuts and salt in the processor, then turn it on and keep it on until it turns it into butter.
*You can use other nuts like Walnuts, Pecans, Brazil Nuts but the roasting time may vary.  Almonds are the most Alkaline nut, so that’s why I eat them most often.  But, as always--you be the chef!
