Sounds good. Hmmm maybe add a little chocolate protein powder?

Well i love making nut butter, at home. I usually do a almond nut/sunflower seed combo sometimes with a handful, of hazelnut for a greater depth of flavour.I actually find, that the softer nut don’t need any added oil just let them process for a while long time. I do add a bit of oil to pistachio butter as my food processor, just can’t make it smooth enough.
