snickerdoodle almond butter

snickerdoodle almond butter

it should be easy to eat healthy in the summer

I mean no one wants to wear a swim suit feeling all heavy after a huge pasta meal right?

I love snacking on fresh fruit and veggies, but truth be told I’d rather be snacking on toasted marshmallow ice cream

salads are delicious, but in the summer there is nothing better than a burger right off the grill

and all the summer parties

mother’s day and father’s day brunches with pancakes and egg casseroles all over the place

birthdays, graduations, and the 4th of July

SO MUCH GOOD FOOD

for me, summer is the hardest time to keep with a healthy eating plan

temptation is everywhere

so today as I was getting ready to eat my apple instead of the snickerdoodle I was craving, I got an idea to turn my almond butter, which is the ONLY way I can eat an apple, into snickerdoodle almond butter

compromise people

this snickerdoodle almond butter is my healthier version of cookie butter, and completely got me over the mid-afternoon I want to eat everything in the house hunger

if you don’t have a high power blender such as a blendtecย ( I use the twister jar to make nut butters)ย , a food processor will work as well

it may seem that your almonds will never turn to butter, but trust me keep pulsing, and if you feel that your almonds are too dry, add a bit more coconut oil

enjoy!
