Healthy Nut Butter Recipes: 50+ Clean & Simple Ideas for a Nutritious Lifestyle – Perfect for Breakfast, Snacks & Smoothie Bowls

I have been a fan of Ground Up Nut Butters for a couple of years so when I found out that the Co-founders were bringing out a cookbook I knew I had to have a copy.The book is loaded with recipes that center around nut butter including recipes to make various different nut butters beginning with the same basic concept, then adding flavors in the form of spices, oils and extracts to make them your own. I loved this piece alone as I want to move away from store bought nut butters and really appreciate this comprehensive guide to getting it right and making them more unique. They cover everything from selecting ingredients, roasting nuts and seeds, and storing your home made butters. They also have some suggested recipes that mirror some of their store offerings such as Cardamom Almond Cashew Butter and Espresso Stout Nut Butter! Its worth noting that these butters are needed to make many of the featured recipes though you could always adapt.The book then takes on different meals: Breakfast: Everything from Acai bowls , Oatmeal and Granola to overnight oats, cookies and pancakes. The we have snacks and bites which feature "Bliss balls" which are handy ways to sneak in a bit of protein in a bite after a workout. These are pretty quick to make too. Dressing and sauces features things you would expect like satay sauce and mole; but also pesto and miso dresssings which can lend to a variety of dishes.The savory section is really loaded with recipes from salads, to soups, tacos to spring rolls; and to finish there is a decadent sweet treats section with "nice' cream, cookies, brownies, and nut butter cups to name but a few.The recipes are generally easy to follow, and once you have your nut butter ready to go, pretty simple to execute. I am excited to start making some of these creations; and more than anything, developing a range of nut butters! Great book with some fun, creative and easy to follow recipes!
