[...] the way, if you wanted to make this into ABU (courtesy of the mastermind of Heather) just add about 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk. [...]

Hey Ashley, yes, the ABU is so good. Thanks for the reminder as I haven’t made it in so long. I don’t think Emily is no longer blogging, but her PBU was basically the ABU recipe made with peanut butter.

Lori,

I’ve used my wet blade to make almond butter. However, I usually use my food processor instead:

http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/recipes/homemade-nut-butter/.

I find the whole process to be much easier in the food processor. However, if you don’t have one, the Vita-Mix will work – you just need to make smaller batches. Also, I’ve found that raw almonds don’t work in the Vita, unless you add a bit of oil. I always used coconut. If you want to make an unsalted version, I would rinse the salt and allow the almonds to air dry – or put them on a baking sheet out in the sun as I fear that if you roast them again, your almond butter might come out tasting burnt…trust me, I’ve been there.

Hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any other questions.

I have a question. For the Almond butter (or any nut for that matter) made in the VitaMix, do you use the wet container or the dry container? I looked at the proce of almond butter in the store yesterday and at $6 a small jar, I decided to try making my own. I have a VitaMix (thanks mom and dad) and I have some raw and roasted\salted almonds. I thought about rinsing the salt off the roasted almonds and re-toasting them in the oven for a few min to dry them off (am I crazy? not sure…)just looking for an almond butter recipe to try and a detailed procedure to follow. Thanks!!!

Momof2, So glad to hear – pop to water will make a huge difference, and sometimes, broccoli is all you need.

P.S. I love that you eat roasted broccoli for breakfast – a girl after my own heart!
……
my son has been changing his eating habits (he is 21)
stopped drinking pop and has drank water for over 2 weeks, something he has never done in his life ! has lost 5 lbs so far, no exercise even

he often eats boiled Broc. for breakfast, with grilled salmon

oh I thought PBU was for Peanut Butter University. I was thinking I’d like a sweatshirt with that on it.
