So chuffed, I made almond butter!

I feel like buying an almond farm and open up a health shop with all the yummy nut products!

Yes, today I made another little something something with almonds.  This time it was almond butter, and it's yummy.  (Gosh, I've said yummy so many times throughout Reboot so far!)

Is started out by dry-roasting the almonds at 180 degrees Celsius, for just a couple of minutes.  I started out with just a small portion of nuts, just to see if I was going to succeed with it. Then I blitzed it in the food processor together with a pinch of salt and about half a teaspoon of coconut oil.  It came together quicker than I'd thought.

I think I used about a cup of almonds and I have almost half a jar of almond butter.  It works out so much cheaper than buying a jar @ R80 at the health shops; and I've even seen it more expensive than that.

      Thanks Rox! Oooh macadamia nut butter is yum for sure, but it's so cheap at Dischem in comparison to almond butter that I just buy it, think it was R20 odd (definitely under R30) for the jar
