Crave-worthy seed and nut butters | Haylie Pomroy

Crave-worthy seed and nut butters

It’s time to indulge in six scrumptious nut butters and seed pastes, all of which are packed full of the healthy fats your body needs to release (and burn) stored body fat. Here’s the skinny on how they taste, and how to use them. They leave peanut butter in the dust!

 Nut butters: Buy or DIY?

When you shop for raw nut butter, always check the ingredients label. You’re looking for products made from raw nuts (or seeds), with no sugar or preservatives added. If you can’t find what you’re looking for in the store or want to save some money, you can make your own nut butter with a food processor.
Grind the nuts down to a fine powder, scraping the pieces down the sides of the container as needed. Just keep grinding — first the powder will clump, then after 10 to 15 minutes the oil will be released and you’ll be left with creamy nut butter. The longer you grind, the smoother the texture will be. Make sure you refrigerate any leftovers.
