Ingredients

• Almonds
• Sea Salt
• Honey, Agave, Coconut Oil, Maple Syrup (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread 2 cups of almonds out.

Roast at 375 degrees for about 6-8 minutes until slightly darker brown. (Careful not to burn!)

After the almonds cool slightly place in a food processor to grind for several minutes (about 12-15).

You want to stop every few minutes to push down what accumulates on the sides of the bowl.

Continue to process until you get a nice thick, creamy texture.

Sprinkle in a pinch of sea salt and blend once again just to incorporate.

If you want additional flavor- add a teaspoon of coconut oil, maple syrup, agave or honey and mix well.

Store in a tupperware or mason jar in the fridge for about 6 weeks. (If you add the oils or syrup this will last about 1-2 weeks.)

Serve with celery, apples or on toast!
