It’s been a busy week, so I’ll just give you a VERY SIMPLE Snack Recipe this week – but so YUMMY! and Good for You-Naturally!™
Apple Wedges and Almond Butter
My dc LOVE this, (and me too,) – and even dipping the apples (or other fruits or veggies) into non-homemade, organic, nut only butters works – peanut, cashew, almond, or sesame could be used.
Almond Butter:
Fit Champion Juicer with blank for “homogenizing” foods (rather than juicing). Turn on and pour in Raw Almonds. Push through with food pusher. Feed slowly for a creamy nut butter, faster for chunky.
If butter is too dry, more like almond meal, sitr in just a bit of olive oil, or put through Champion again with just a bit of olive oil. You can also make nut butters in a blender or food processor if you don’t have a Champion.
Tip: The natural oil in your almonds will flow better, making a creamier butter, if your almonds are a bit warm, not cold from the fridge. I usually warm mine up just a bit on the dehydrator, set at 110°. You don’t want to heat them higher, or you will destroy the enzymes.
Slice Apples, or other fruits or veggies, and dip/scoop into the butter, and eat. Bananas aren’t the best scoopers since they are softer, but you can still put a hunk of nut butter on them for a great, yummy snack or lunch.
You got a hankerin’ for chocolate? It’s not exactly the same, but carob is a Good for You-Naturally!™ substitute. Stir some vegan, malt sweetened carob chips into the nut butter before scooping onto the fruit, for an occasional treat.
