Sig Kappel hi Dad!

That’s a USD600 blender

U need to take the skin off it contains lectins. Must remove lectins.

Straight!

turki alturki from where?

me too.

Exactly 👏🏼

What if use a more powerful blender 2200 watt or so?

Fatima Nadaf vitamix and blendtec blenders are like 1-3 horsepower if I remember correctly. Not sure what that comes out to in Watts, but the more power you have the easier you’ll be able to make the nut butter

@@thriving_on_plantz2347 her website mentioned more details about the need for cooling nuts and min. 4 cups etc.

Get a real blender. I have the Waring MX1000. 3 1/2 horsepowers. That thing doesn't fuck around.

I just made this today with my new Vitamix (don't remember the version). It wasn't fun. I kept having to stop it and unclog it. Then it was impossible to get it all out. I decided to try the cuisinart and it was a DREAM!!!! I left it on for about 5 minutes and it was all blended and creamy!!!! I did stir it once and left it on a little longer, no issue. And SO much easier to clean.

I ain't the only one with my crappy blender uh. Welcome to the club!

LOL

you can use a regular food processor. it just takes a bit longer. About 5 to 10 minutes to get the same result and push the nuts back with a spoon a few times

cata kohler I made mix nut butter today using a 20 yrs old smoothie maker, but it worked! 🥳 I’m so exited, thought you should give it ago. And like the comment below saying blend for a little longer

Homeschooling Mothers thank you so much, had I not read your comment I never would have tried it

ty bro

Also heard that but then the taste if butter is completely different. More like a tender cream I guess .How can u roast soaked almonds?

Presoak for how long

Lol. Crazy isn't it? Never need to buy it at the store again. ;)

Killing Thyme ikr!

Jajajaja ja 🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁😁

😂😂😂😂

@@Downshiftology *How many ounces of almond butter does 1 lb of almonds make? / Which oil would you recommend using?*

But did you notice that blender costs $500?

@@blueblueskyhi so it pays itself back in 27 jars of almond butter. Plus the these blenders are great for other things like smoothies, soups and such. I wish I had seen this before I got a Nutribullet. It advertises it does the same thing and I got it for $120 on sale. So I can't wait to put it to the test and see if it can do this.

Vitamix is only ~$320 in Costco now

Costco also sells almond butter

@@blueblueskyhi Actually closer to $600 after tax ($592) I know because I have the 3500 black and chrome, it's totally awesome!

What type of blender did you use ?

Cinnamon and honey sounds divine!

shikha hi what donyou use them for

shikha hi I’m having difficulties even after following the exact directions. My almonds crumbled and blender started smoking

Mayda Minaya you need a powerful blender to make this. Crush your almonds in a mortar and pestle and then blend them by adding a little oil whenever required. Also don’t use your blender continuously. Blend for 15 seconds and then wait for 10 seconds. Then blend again. Keep doing this and don’t let your blender heat up. It might get fused otherwise.

More like a monster blender.

Lol I thought about that

Glad you enjoyed this recipe! 😊

Awesome - enjoy!

@@Downshiftology hy

Exactly. The crap I bought from the store looks pathetic compared to this.

Wonderful! I'm so happy to hear that!

Homemade almond butter is the way to go 😉

Once you do, you'll be happy you did!

Wonderful! So happy to hear that!

Congrats on your new Vitamix! 😊

It really is super easy! I make it every couple of weeks around here (though I do switch up my nut varieties). :)

Kionaldo feel you haha

Same!!! 😢

Same

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)

We should definitely make it ourselves and teach them a lesson. ;)

How did you do that with the love emote? lol

1kg of almonds where I live is 30$ (canada), so, not on the cheap side 🤷🏼‍♀️

Lorie, don't know where you're buying almonds!! I live in Toronto, 1 kg of raw almonds is $18.

StandUpForCanada1867 Well I bought some recently and I got a package of 500g for 10$ ! So approx 20$ for 1kg you’re right !

It's amazing how quickly it comes together, isn't it?

How long does the butter last in fridge ?

Glad this video was helpful Loraine!

You'll love it - it's a beauty! And thanks for the compliment! :)

Homemade almond butter is the way to go!

Glad you liked it Emily! 😊

yeah, it's the oils being released and emulsifying

Thank you so much 😊

Thanks so much!

Hi Andrea - welcome to the community and I'm so happy you're loving my videos! Also, big kudos to your for simplifying your life and adopting healthier habits. I'm sure those changes will benefit you heaps in your recovery! For the nut butters, they can be more difficult in regular blenders as you really need the tamper to push the nuts into the blades (especially on almond and cashew butters), as well as the higher powered motor. You can make them in a food processor though, they just take longer...about 20 minutes. :)

Great, thanks. Any particular brand or will anyone do?

@@Downshiftology if you don't have a Vitamix can you use another tamper and then how high from the blades should you stay?

@@Downshiftology I use a 7 cup KichenAid food processor, with just my large chop blade in the bottom. I make a type of “nut” butter that doesn’t use any butter or oil - or even any “nuts”, for that matter, just “seeds”. This recipe is from the book: “Nature’s Cures,” by Dr. Arpelian, and I use the following recipe from her for “Arthritis and Osteoarthritis” (general bone and joint pain), which is very bad. Everyone responds differently, but I noticed a very real difference in about ten days. I have arthritis and osteoarthritis very badly, and everything else had failed, so I thought I’d give it a try. I use a combination of: 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/2 cup flax seeds, and 2 tab. sesame seeds. Process them very fine. To this add: 3 tab. finely chopped raisins (I like golden raisins) and process mixture again. Then add 2 pkg., (15 ml ea., or 2 tab. each) of unflavoured gelatine powder (dry) to that and process the mixture again until well mixed. Then I pour in 1 cup pure honey (room temp.) and process until you have a very homogeneous mixture, and will look very creamy and smooth - much like any nut butter! . This will fill a 500 ml glass jar. Put into fridge for up to 2 months. The directions say to take one tablespoon, three times a day, on an empty stomach. I found that using a blender made it more difficult to remove more of the final product from the jar and blades, but found it easier to clean my processor and blade without loosing almost any mixture. Warning: I tried to double the recipe and found that the mixture was too stiff for the motor of my machine and the “butter-like” mixture went up too far over the top of the blade spindle, fell down and then up into the inside of my blade. However, after cleaning everything up, and waiting for the motor to cool down, it did recover, but I only make just the above amount in it. Just thought I’d warn anyone. Hope this helps someone !

Happy to hear your almond butter turned out perfectly Chelsy! 😊

That is the goal when creating your own nut butters 😊 Also, I hope you enjoy the recipes from the meal preps!

@@Downshiftology On the search for some good glass containers. I have a few, but will get some more. I live in Germany and don't think I'll find the same brands here, but am sure I can find some very good ones nonetheless.

Yes, it's definitely possible in both, but easier and faster in the Vitamix. Glad you enjoyed it! :)

I'm surprised the motor didn't burn out!

I use my Vitamix blender in this video. :)

Glad you liked the video! Unfortunately, homemade nut butters don't contain the sugar, salt and preservatives of commercial nut butters, so they will go rancid quite quickly. Even airtight it will be prone to bacteria growth. So I would not recommend storing in your pantry. The best thing is to take out as much as you'd like to enjoy that day, and let it come to room temperature before eating. :)

Hi Andra - how exciting! The Vitamix will be your new best friend, and yes, you can make raw almond butter with it :)

You will be glad u did

Yes, you can definitely add honey and cinnamon. And it will last for several weeks in the fridge. :)

You can keep the almond butter for up to about 2 weeks in the fridge :)

@@Downshiftology Thank YOU!!! ^^

Awesome, could you please put that in the description? As I was looking for that answer.

Yay! Happy you enjoyed this recipe 😊

Yes! You don't need any added oils when you make it from home. :)

Free from vegetable oil? Almonds have oil?

Gasgiant I assume they would rather count as nuts than vegetable but you have a point. Also I wonder why vegetable oils are unwanted? There are many vegetable oils with health benefits

Kai E. Most vegetable oils contain GMO ingredients and are chemically processed making it unhealthy. Expeller pressed healthy oils like avocado oil and olive oil aren’t neutral enough in taste to pair well with the almond butter and would overwhelm the natural almond taste. Lastly, yes, almonds produce their own oils which is why she roasted them first to help bring the oils out. 🤗

Gasgiant yes, almonds have natural oils which is why she roasted the almonds first, to bring out all of that natural oil. Many cosmetic companies use almond oil in beauty and hair products for its nutritive and moisturizing properties. Almond oil however isn’t good for frying or sautéing food as the smoke point isn’t very high at all and would cause the oil to burn quickly producing free radicals which can cause cancer.

Yes! All the time. And I actually just posted a macadamia cashew butter recipe on my blog. You could do this exact recipe with 100% cashews if you'd like as well. So creamy and delish! :) downshiftology.com/recipes/macadamia-cashew-butter/

I am watching the latest season of Masterchef UK, and in the first episode Marcus Wareing made a cashew butter for one of the skills test. The comment he made was that if you did not heat the nuts first the oil will split (he added olive oil during teh blending). FWIW.

It will keep for several months in the refrigerator. :)

Downshiftology ok I bought some almond butter in a deli type container and there were no instructions for refrigeration. So now it's bad?thanks for sharing

HOME MADE RAW BUTTER LASTS TWO WEEKS IN THE REFRIGERATOR

@@Talletc Don't spread lies and misinformation please. I've kept homemade almond butter in my fridge for 3 months, it was still as fresh as the day I made it. That is, unless you meant it only lasts 2 weeks because you consume it all by then.

@@Downshiftology A few comments down from this one (4 months ago), you replied that it will last 2 weeks in fridge. So, several months or 2 weeks?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, I know my blender would blow up.....

I have a cheap blender from Dollar General. I wouldn't dare try this with my current blender.

You're more than welcome! :)

I made this recipe and it came out good, but I did not use a Vitamix : I use what I had and it came out with the same consistency as your. I use a Food processor. Wow! Praise God!! Thanks 👍 first time making this and my neighbor love it.

M P haha

It is an investment if you cook daily and you eat these foods and frozen veggie and fruit smoothies and soups etc etc. also is it about 400$ and you can buy second hand too. I have mine 10 years and it is like new, used daily never an issue it looks great and works great. At the same time I have bought my mom 4 less expensive blenders from 60-150$ and they keep braking apart every year.

Serenity Princess not true, I used a cheap 20 yr old smoothie maker. And my mixed nut butter turned out amazing, you just need to blend longer and stir a few times

A food processor is cheaper AND u don’t gotta smash the almonds

Get a $50 food processor and u can do this !!!!

U can use a good processor!

Wonderful! Happy to hear it Carolyn. :) x

gkdiscovery 7 months refrigerated

Yes. It will quickly go rancid if left on the countertop or in a pantry as there's no preservatives.

Thanks so much Cedar! :)

Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed this almond butter recipe 😊

You just need to let it blend a little longer

Sorry to hear that. You can read through the comments on my website to see perhaps where things went wrong for you. And if you'd like to trouble shoot it I'm happy to help. I make almond butter monthly, so I guarantee that it works and numerous readers have made it with success as well. :)

Same thing happened to me too.

I didn’t have a Vitamix but used a Bosch multitalented 3. Have to say it didn’t work too well and I had to keep adding oil, which I didn’t want to do. The taste was good in the end but I can see how that stick with the Vitamix might come in handle. I’m guessing it had a much stronger motor as it is double or triple the price.

It's the best one yet and creates perfect consistencies 😊

@@Downshiftology are u referring to vitamix A3500i?
