I was inspired to try this to make a replacement for my peanut butter treat that I like to give myself for splurges. Peanut butter, since cooked, has acrylamides, which are bad for you, as pointed out by Mr. Curious. Well, I think I will stick to the peanut butter. It's only about once a week when I have this. And I'll probably tired of it one of these days but right now it's my treat.

failed nut butter experiment
Today I tried to make almond butter in the blender and it was a pain and it didn't turn out very well. Other people tell me this should work but maybe I just don't have the patience to blend long enough. Anyway, it doesn't seem worth the effort to me. I can buy raw from Dr. Fuhrman or freshly made (but not raw) from the co-op. I soaked the almonds overnight and then put them in the blender. The blender was working really hard so I added some soy milk and pomegranate juice to try to help it out. Like I said, I probably just wasn't patient enough. It never got that smooth. I dumped it down the sink (oops).
