Creamy Dark Chocolate Nut Butter

This flavor combo is heavenly!

Unsweetened coconut flakes

Pecans

Almonds

70% dark chocolate 

Richness!

You can't really taste coconut so don't fret if you don't like it BUT it makes the flavor of choc 'boom' stand out!

And you know what I love...to not waste the blender with leftover nut butter

Protein shake!...in an almost empty PB

Chocolate protein, banana, almond milk, ice, xantham gum

Toasted Coconut Almond Butter

Mmm I absolutely love coconut! And nut butter!... So what better than to combine the two?!?

1 1/2 c almonds

3/4 c coconut 

(Optional: 2 dates)

1. I toasted half the almonds with the coconut (on low). 

You want a nice golden hue

2. Throw into blender after allowing to cool a bit. Pulse.

I added two dates (just adds some sweetness)

Blend blend blend

It's a process but the nuts will break down eventually. 

I kept mine thick but if you keep going it'll go creamy.

Cinnamon Raisin Almond Butter

Cinnamon Raisin Almond Butter:

~2c almonds

~1/4c raisins (rinsed in water then laid out to dry)

~1tbsp cinnamon

~2-3 tbsp 100% maple syrup (100% comes straight from a tree so it's all natural & soooo good for you!)

.Make almond butter first with just the almonds; blend until creamy.

.Then, while blender running, add maple syrup and cinnamon.

.Add raisins and pulse until desired chunks. You can't really taste them as raisins; they really just add a sweetness. You can also add more raisins if you like them.

I keep mine in the fridge to keep it frah and make it last.

Cocoa Almond Butter

OMG this is so delicious! So easy!

2c roasted almonds

3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Chocolate liquid stevia (2 vials full) or vanilla or regular I'm sure is fine too

.make your almond butter until really smooth.

.as the blender or processor is running, add a tbsp a time of the cocoa.

.add stevia and allow to blend all together.

.boom. Done.

.pour into jar.
