Raw Nut Butter Recipe
Makes about 20 servings
Raw nut butter makes a great easy to make snack on the go. Along
with being convenient, it is very healthy as well. According to Judy Caplan, RD,
a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Nuts are full of “Omega-3
fatty acids, protein, and fiber which help you feel full and suppress your
appetite.” When you roast the nuts you also destroy some of the nutrients in
the nut. This is why it is important to et all of your nuts raw. Nut butter is especially
great when eaten with carrots, celery, or
apple wedges.
