I’m rediscovering nut butter on celery as a super fast snack! This blend works in several superfoods that my family would not normally eat as stand-alones.
In a clean jar with lid, stir up a batch using these ingredients:
- In order to mix coconut oil in smoothly, bring all nut butters to room temp. Melt coconut oil. (Next time, I’ll try mixing the oil with the pumpkin seed flour first.)
- Peanut butter for flavor, if necessary (avoid due to mycotoxins)
- Almond butter or any other nut butter (freshness really affects flavor!)
- Ground walnuts for crunch and an EFA brain boost
- Tahini for a mineral boost (sesame seed butter. Brands vary in taste due to freshness and roasted or not. My friend prefers EastWind. I like it freshly ground at my co-op.)
- Ground pumpkin seeds for zinc boost (highly recommended for older boys and men or those with low stomach acid)
- KAL stevia extract powder for sweetness
- Extra sea salt if needed (I use Redmond RealSalt)
- Children might enjoy better with raw honey mixed in. (I’ll try this with my son who doesn’t like the stickiness of nut butters)
Spread on celery or whatever!
I haven’t worked out the proportions yet, for the coconut oil and ground pumpkin seeds to a consistency I like. Honestly, I’ll probably just stir it up without measuring and adjust later–I can always add more of any ingredient.
