Instructions
- Add almonds to Twister jar, and place lid on jar.
- Hold lid with one hand, and with other hand set on a Medium to Medium-High speed.
- Turn lid counterclockwise during blending. Run for 50 seconds.
- Add salt to taste.
Note: For almond butter using raw almonds, blend 1½ cups of raw almonds and 1-2 tbsp. of almond oil at speed 7 (or a Medium-High speed) until smooth and creamy.
Never use Canola oil. If you research it well, you will learn it is an oil made from the rapeseed plant which is highly toxic to humans.
Um…this may seem a bit anal, but I pop my almonds out of their skins (doesn’t really take long…while waiting for the coffee to brew, doing my oil pulling or watching a video) before making my almond milk. I haven’t made almond butter yet, so is there an advantage to skinning them, or should I just soak, dry, roast and blend? Thanks!
Check out www.greensmoothiegirl.com. She does a yearly group buy which includes raw almonds.
I tried this last night with my new Twister jar, but even on low the almonds kept climbing the walls and stopped blending. The bag I bought at the story said they were "dry roasted", could it be they still needed some oil?
Amazing ! so easy so healthy …. MY favorite for sure !XOXO
