Did you know that making your own homemade nut butter can take the same amount of time and effort as whipping up a smoothie? And on top of that, you can boost the flavor profile with cinnamon and coconut butter + supercharge it with superfoods!
All you have to do is fill up a cup of cashews before going to bed, and you’ll wake up to softened nuts that are ready to be combined with Green Dream, Green Bee Honey, Coconut Dream Coconut Butter, coconut oil, turmeric, maca, cinnamon, and sea salt!
I especially love adding anti-inflammatory turmeric since it packs a one-two punch against free radicals by stimulating your system’s own antioxidant mechanisms AND neutralizing them directly.
My FAVORITE way to enjoy the butter is by packing it inside dates—you’ll get the happiest sandwich in town!
So don’t be surprised if this one becomes a homemade pantry staple ;)
Gather This:
- 1 cup soaked + rinsed cashews (4-12 hours)
- 1 teaspoon Green Dream Superfood + Protein Powder
- 1 tablespoon Green Bee Honey
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon maca powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pink sea salt
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon melted Coconut Dream Coconut Butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
Do This:
In a food processor, mix the melted coconut butter, coconut oil, + cashews. You may have to stop it and mix a few times. It will get WARM, but this is normal.
Once creamy, add the rest of the ingredients and mix until incorporated.
Be sure to taste test, adding more salt or more honey as desired. You may want it more liquidy consistency-wise, and if that's the case, add more melted coconut oil. Remember, you can be super creative with raw foods—it’s not an exact science! Use your nose + taste buds to create what you want as a finished product. Feel free to omit all of the ingredients, except for the cashews, sea salt, + coconut oil, for a super simple cashew butter recipe!
