ABC Nut Butter with Cacao Nibs
As if you needed an excuse, but there are loads of reasons to make and eat this delicious ABC (Almonds, Brazil nuts, Cashews) nut butter, loaded with crunchy Cocoa Nibs. Cocoa nibs may offer anti-inflammatory effects, boost your immune system, and protect against diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. So although we call it yummy, you can call it healthy!
You can replace any of the nuts with any nuts or seeds of your choice. Bear in mind that blending time may vary based on the freshness of the nuts. Some nuts are oiler than others and will come together faster when this is the case. If you don’t want to use EVOO, you can use an equal amount of flavourless coconut oil.
