dude that blender is a monster!
Sig Kappel hi Dad!
That’s a USD600 blender
U need to take the skin off it contains lectins. Must remove lectins.
Straight!
turki alturki from where?
Excuse me but I must say, that when you say "thanks for watching." I say, "Thank you for teaching me!" I cant wait to try your recipes. Seriously thank you.
me too.
Exactly 👏🏼
Just made this. A heads up to people who don't have a vitamix: it will take way longer than 1 minute. I have a NutriNinja and it took about 5 minutes of blending after baking the almonds AND adding coconut oil. I'm happy with it the result though!
What if use a more powerful blender 2200 watt or so?
Fatima Nadaf vitamix and blendtec blenders are like 1-3 horsepower if I remember correctly. Not sure what that comes out to in Watts, but the more power you have the easier you’ll be able to make the nut butter
@@thriving_on_plantz2347 her website mentioned more details about the need for cooling nuts and min. 4 cups etc.
Get a real blender. I have the Waring MX1000. 3 1/2 horsepowers. That thing doesn't fuck around.
I just made this today with my new Vitamix (don't remember the version). It wasn't fun. I kept having to stop it and unclog it. Then it was impossible to get it all out. I decided to try the cuisinart and it was a DREAM!!!! I left it on for about 5 minutes and it was all blended and creamy!!!! I did stir it once and left it on a little longer, no issue. And SO much easier to clean.
Recipe:
Get a really strong blender
More like a monster blender.
Lol I thought about that
I wanna try this but like my blender could never
I ain't the only one with my crappy blender uh. Welcome to the club!
LOL
you can use a regular food processor. it just takes a bit longer. About 5 to 10 minutes to get the same result and push the nuts back with a spoon a few times
cata kohler I made mix nut butter today using a 20 yrs old smoothie maker, but it worked! 🥳 I’m so exited, thought you should give it ago. And like the comment below saying blend for a little longer
Homeschooling Mothers thank you so much, had I not read your comment I never would have tried it
Use up the remaining almond butter by making a protein shake. Makes for an easier clean up while minimizing waste!
Never buying almond butter again after this. A jar in the US is 13-18 bucks depending on the brand. I can get a huge bag of almonds from Costco for the same price plus i have a vitamix! Thanks for this. Didn’t know it was that simple 🥴
But did you notice that blender costs $500?
@@blueblueskyhi so it pays itself back in 27 jars of almond butter. Plus the these blenders are great for other things like smoothies, soups and such. I wish I had seen this before I got a Nutribullet. It advertises it does the same thing and I got it for $120 on sale. So I can't wait to put it to the test and see if it can do this.
Vitamix is only ~$320 in Costco now
Costco also sells almond butter
@@blueblueskyhi Actually closer to $600 after tax ($592) I know because I have the 3500 black and chrome, it's totally awesome!
Whaaaat! I honestly had no idea it was THAT easy. Brb, going to buy ALL the almonds!
Lol. Crazy isn't it? Never need to buy it at the store again. ;)
Killing Thyme ikr!
Jajajaja ja 🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁😁
😂😂😂😂
@@Downshiftology *How many ounces of almond butter does 1 lb of almonds make? / Which oil would you recommend using?*
I just tried this and oh my gosh. So easy and quick. After making the nut butter, I added cinnamon and honey for flavouring and honestly? It tastes as good as store bought almond butter. Thanks!
What type of blender did you use ?
Cinnamon and honey sounds divine!
shikha hi what donyou use them for
shikha hi I’m having difficulties even after following the exact directions. My almonds crumbled and blender started smoking
Mayda Minaya you need a powerful blender to make this. Crush your almonds in a mortar and pestle and then blend them by adding a little oil whenever required.
Also don’t use your blender continuously. Blend for 15 seconds and then wait for 10 seconds. Then blend again.
Keep doing this and don’t let your blender heat up. It might get fused otherwise.
fyi, works better if you blend while still slightly warm. also you should pre-soak raw almonds to get rid the tannin and phytates which inhibit nutrient uptake and other issues. one case study shows 60% more magnesium and 20% more zinc are absorbed when phytates are removed. also these compounds bind to proteins and make them even harder to digest.
ty bro
Also heard that but then the taste if butter is completely different. More like a tender cream I guess .How can u roast soaked almonds?
Presoak for how long
About a week ago I tried making Almond butter with my regular blender (Seb) First try I really struggled but today I used the crushing ice blades that comes along my Seb and followed your advice to roast the almond first .... It took me 4 minutes to get to the consistancy seen in your video .... I'm very happy ... the taste is yummy good and perfect
Thanks for all your good advice Lisa
i just made this because almond butter is expensive and the last time i tried it, i didn’t care for it. i didn’t wanna waste money trying it again when i could make my own. Y’ALL IT’S SOO GOOD!! the roasted almonds gives the butter a nice flavor. i put a dollop on my waffle with a little maple syrup today mwah chef’s kiss. it really does take about a minute for it to blend it the vitamix. thank you for this video!
Ok, I've really been at it with your recipes. I had some curried roasted almonds in the pantry that I used for this and it came out divine. My favorite filling snack is a small piece of cooked acorn squash with the nut butter drizzled on top and a little bit of honey.
It's funny people buy this stuff in the shops and in the UK its like £17.99 for 1kg buying Almond nuts costs about £8 for 1kg make it yourself and your saving so much money per kg, and no added salt or sugar guaranteed cause your making it yourself you know what goes in it, and on top of that you could technically mess around and add cocoa powder raw for health benefits right? Companies need to start selling them cheaper or we should all make it ourselves to teach them a lesson lol
We should definitely make it ourselves and teach them a lesson. ;)
How did you do that with the love emote? lol
1kg of almonds where I live is 30$ (canada), so, not on the cheap side 🤷🏼♀️
Lorie, don't know where you're buying almonds!! I live in Toronto, 1 kg of raw almonds is $18.
StandUpForCanada1867 Well I bought some recently and I got a package of 500g for 10$ ! So approx 20$ for 1kg you’re right !
Rip my blender
Kionaldo feel you haha
Same!!! 😢
Same
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Love, love, love your blending idea! It worked really well and as advertised! As for the nuts, I used 1/2 almond and 1/2 cashews in a wok with a lot of butter until browned, added salt and pepper and some coarsely chopped left over roasted nuts. Amazing nut butter!! Thanks!
I can’t believe how easy it is! Thanks from Perú
I’m so glad I found this! I have a peanut allergy and all recipes say to replace with almond butter, but every almond butter I’ve found contains traces of peanuts! This is literally a life changer!
Glad you enjoyed this recipe! 😊
I use my 32oz Vitamix container and 2 cups of raw and roasted almonds and it turned out perfect. I have the 750 model. Most of what I do with my Vitamix I find the smaller container suits my needs as a single person. Love my Vitamix and thanks so much
LOVE this! I put the almonds in the oven. I added unsweetened coconut in the blender. DELICIOUS!
Thank You!
Thank you very much for this important & healthy how to make Almond Butter. You're really helping people!
I usually buy the grind-your-own almond butter at Whole Foods but am so glad I tried this! Your homemade almond butter has more flavor and a super creamy texture. Will always be making it at home from now on!
I kid you not, after watching Lisa's homemade food tutorials for years, vitamix is the first appliance I saved up and bought when i got married. Such a splurge but worth it!
Can’t wait to try this!! 💖 great way to make almond flour AND almond butter!
Wow! The consistency of that almond butter is incredible. Going to give this a shot.
Awesome - enjoy!
@@Downshiftology hy
Exactly. The crap I bought from the store looks pathetic compared to this.
I love love love your channel. You’ve given me inpiration to do better for my health.
Wonderful! I'm so happy to hear that!
I own a vitamix blender and yes it makes nut butters very easily it also does lots of other jobs too. I also have a cuisinart food processor that will also make nut butter in a few minutes. Homemade nut butters are fabulous, the store bought ones have lots of additives in.
Just got my Vita Mix-had to plan the purchase-almond butter is one of my staples! And roasting the almonds is the best! Thank you again for your wholesome and loving vlogs.
Congrats on your new Vitamix! 😊
I had no idea it was this easy. Never buying almond butter again. I said the same thing after watching your Mayo video. - Great channel
Me: that blender is really good
my blender:Are you cheating on me
I just made this and it taste SO GOODDDDD! the smell is amazing as well ❤ thank you!
Thank you so much for a great, quick, and concise tutorial! Have a great week!
OH MY GOSH THAT LOOKS AMAZING
Damn, I never know making almond butter was so easy at home with no ingredients you are a goddess ! I love your recipes
I have a vita mix for 7 or 8 years and never made but butters. I made peanut butter. Holy smokes it is the best I ever tasted. These make the best gifts to give too along with a loaf of homemade bread. I don’t eat grains but I just use mine as a dip for celery sticks.
That blender is genuine. Thank you.
thank you very much ! this really helped my grandmother because she has diabetes and she had been looking for something with no sugar, and this was perfect😂❤
Wonderful! So happy to hear that!
I've always wanted to try this. It looks super easy to make. Can't wait to try it!
Once you do, you'll be happy you did!
I just made this today with my new Vitamix (don't remember the version). It wasn't fun. It must depend on the version of vitamix you use.
I kept having to stop it and unclog it. Then it was impossible to get it all out. I decided to try the cuisinart and it was a DREAM!!!! I left it on for about 5 minutes and it was all blended and creamy!!!! I did stir it once and left it on a little longer, no issue. And SO much easier to clean.
Watching this in 2020: Lisa’s voice has definitely changed over the course of years ...in a more CZcams- friendly way from a more professional, work voice! Love it 😍
Wow super quick. Looks delicious!
It's amazing how quickly it comes together, isn't it?
How long does the butter last in fridge ?
I made some of this and it's good! Only thing is it actually took a little more time than a minute but that's probably because my mixer isn't that good. Thanks!
Tried this today. Amazingly quick. I have my vitamix for about a yr and never did this. Regrets but thankful. Thank you teaching!!
Glad this video was helpful Loraine!
i only have a crap foodprocessor, so to make it creamy i added a bit of almond drink, worked like a charm, and for a bit of seasoning i added 2 tsp vanilla sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon - yummy !!!
Omg ! I made my own almond butter …. Super easy and inexpensive . Thank you so much for sharing your delicious and simple recipes 😄
Homemade almond butter is the way to go 😉
You make it look so easy and so good! Thanks for the demo. LOVE my Vitamix, too!
It really is super easy! I make it every couple of weeks around here (though I do switch up my nut varieties). :)
I respect that some people enjoy their vitamix, I have used it at the restaurant where I work and do not like it at all! Having to move and press while it blends is very difficult when preparing several servings, and when not, it’s annoying! I recommend the Ninja, which has blades all the way up!
I used a blender from Walmart and it got the job done. Almond butter is the best.
Wow! This is Great!! Almond Butter much heather then Peanut Butter!
Can't wait to get the new Vitamix!! awesome video by the way
You'll love it - it's a beauty! And thanks for the compliment! :)
Love your style of good eating habits! Thank you for the pointers on the almond butter!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Never knew it was this easy, and I am in love with his single ingredient almond butter.
Homemade almond butter is the way to go!
Mindblown. How does it become creamy with just blending?! Guessing it releases a lot of oil, oh the chemistry!
yeah, it's the oils being released and emulsifying
Excellent video. Very clear, you didnt go on and on about the blender or this or that. Just quick instructions, great lighting and backround. Your atire was matching too! Lol This is only the second video Ive seen on youre channel but it was enough. Ive subscribed and youve gained a new fan ! Keep up the great work !
-God bless
Thanks so much!
I have never made any kind of nut butter at home, but after seeing this I definitely will! It's simple and I know exactly what goes into it. And ZERO processed sugar. Perfect!
I've also been loving your meal prep videos and I can't wait to try them! Thank you so much! I love your channel! You are inspiring.
That is the goal when creating your own nut butters 😊 Also, I hope you enjoy the recipes from the meal preps!
@@Downshiftology On the search for some good glass containers. I have a few, but will get some more. I live in Germany and don't think I'll find the same brands here, but am sure I can find some very good ones nonetheless.
Thank you for this video. I had no idea it was so easy with a high powered blender !!!
I need a vitamix!!!
OMG this is GOLD! I live in Bali and brought my Vitamix with me. I'm gonna sell all kinds of nut butters here! lol. Gonna make nut butter tomorrow! Hubby loves peanut butter too...
I just made this and 1 minute right. It turned out super smooth and tasty. Thank you for sharing.
Happy to hear your almond butter turned out perfectly Chelsy! 😊
love this !! just made it and was shocked by how easy and delicious it came out
Glad you liked it Emily! 😊
It took me 7 min to do this almond butter in a food processor and I had to add some oil to help it mix. Vitamix makes all the difference, however "food processor" butter was delicious too. Thank you for wonderful recipe Lisa.
Yes, it's definitely possible in both, but easier and faster in the Vitamix. Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I'm surprised the motor didn't burn out!
How long can we keep it?
gkdiscovery 7 months refrigerated
OMG !!! Amazing ☺️ Thank you so much for sharing with us !!! ❤️
You are amazing, I love your cooking and minimal ingredients in any recipe so clean!
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Lisa, I'm a brand new subscriber and absolutely loving your videos! Currently recovering from chemo and a mastectomy and have shifted to a diet of natural, unprocessed whole foods (especially homemade) and generally simplifying my life as I heal, so your videos are very inspiring. Thank you! Question: can nut butters be done in a regular blender? I don't have a Vitamix.
Hi Andrea - welcome to the community and I'm so happy you're loving my videos! Also, big kudos to your for simplifying your life and adopting healthier habits. I'm sure those changes will benefit you heaps in your recovery! For the nut butters, they can be more difficult in regular blenders as you really need the tamper to push the nuts into the blades (especially on almond and cashew butters), as well as the higher powered motor. You can make them in a food processor though, they just take longer...about 20 minutes. :)
Great, thanks. Any particular brand or will anyone do?
@@Downshiftology if you don't have a Vitamix can you use another tamper and then how high from the blades should you stay?
@@Downshiftology I use a 7 cup KichenAid food processor, with just my large chop blade in the bottom. I make a type of “nut” butter that doesn’t use any butter or oil - or even any “nuts”, for that matter, just “seeds”. This recipe is from the book: “Nature’s Cures,” by Dr. Arpelian, and I use the following recipe from her for “Arthritis and Osteoarthritis” (general bone and joint pain), which is very bad. Everyone responds differently, but I noticed a very real difference in about ten days. I have arthritis and osteoarthritis very badly, and everything else had failed, so I thought I’d give it a try. I use a combination of: 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/2 cup flax seeds, and 2 tab. sesame seeds. Process them very fine. To this add: 3 tab. finely chopped raisins (I like golden raisins) and process mixture again. Then add 2 pkg., (15 ml ea., or 2 tab. each) of unflavoured gelatine powder (dry) to that and process the mixture again until well mixed. Then I pour in 1 cup pure honey (room temp.) and process until you have a very homogeneous mixture, and will look very creamy and smooth - much like any nut butter! . This will fill a 500 ml glass jar. Put into fridge for up to 2 months. The directions say to take one tablespoon, three times a day, on an empty stomach. I found that using a blender made it more difficult to remove more of the final product from the jar and blades, but found it easier to clean my processor and blade without loosing almost any mixture. Warning: I tried to double the recipe and found that the mixture was too stiff for the motor of my machine and the “butter-like” mixture went up too far over the top of the blade spindle, fell down and then up into the inside of my blade. However, after cleaning everything up, and waiting for the motor to cool down, it did recover, but I only make just the above amount in it. Just thought I’d warn anyone. Hope this helps someone !
Great video! straight to the point and easy enough to replicate i'm going to try this in my blendtec.. Question, l hate cold nut butters, how long will it last if l keep it airtight in the pantry? Thanks again
Glad you liked the video! Unfortunately, homemade nut butters don't contain the sugar, salt and preservatives of commercial nut butters, so they will go rancid quite quickly. Even airtight it will be prone to bacteria growth. So I would not recommend storing in your pantry. The best thing is to take out as much as you'd like to enjoy that day, and let it come to room temperature before eating. :)
Great recipe i just did it. Its simply yet more healthy. Thank you for sharing. I also have done the 1 min bread in microwave for 3 times and love it. You are great
Yay! Happy you enjoyed this recipe 😊
This is so easy to make love it 😍
I'm wondering how long it can last for
I really hope you scraped the blender out better than that off camera! 😆💯
I love my Vitamix. I am all over homemade almond butter. Thank you. 😊😊
Love this recipe! So expensive to buy in the grocery store and often mixed with icky oils
Your food processor is perfect. Mine is not that good what its name please. Thank you . Im big fan from Syria
I use my Vitamix blender in this video. :)
So I just made this almond butter tonight in a KitchenAid blender. I baked the almonds first like you said and waited until they were room temperature. I then put them in the blender and it blended pretty good but I noticed the blender was getting hot or could it be I didn't wait long enough for the almonds to cool. ( I had waited about 30 minutes for them to be not hot to the touch.) Anyway, i have never eaten almond butter before and was a little disappointed with the taste. Can I add honey and cinnamon like someone else did, and if so, how long will it last in frig with the extra ingredients. Thank you so much. I love all your ideas!!!
Yes, you can definitely add honey and cinnamon. And it will last for several weeks in the fridge. :)
I used Omega juicer to make roast almond butter quick and easy too, after that mixed in some coconut oil... delicious!
Wonderful!
Wow this was amazing I can’t wait to make some!!
I finally tried it on my vitamix. I roasted the almond that I bought from Costco for 10 min. But it took me a few minutes and had to add coconut buter to finally make it. And this morning it not liquidy at all super thick. What did I do wrong!!
Thank you! Do you know how long can we keep the butter for?
You can keep the almond butter for up to about 2 weeks in the fridge :)
@@Downshiftology Thank YOU!!! ^^
Awesome, could you please put that in the description? As I was looking for that answer.
Waoo am definitely doing this. Thanks
I'm excited about this. Thank you so much. I can't eat regular butter. Certainly going to try it this weekend...
All you gotta do is spend 600+ dollars on that blender then you can make homemade fresh almond butter..... 😑
It is an investment if you cook daily and you eat these foods and frozen veggie and fruit smoothies and soups etc etc. also is it about 400$ and you can buy second hand too. I have mine 10 years and it is like new, used daily never an issue it looks great and works great. At the same time I have bought my mom 4 less expensive blenders from 60-150$ and they keep braking apart every year.
Serenity Princess not true, I used a cheap 20 yr old smoothie maker. And my mixed nut butter turned out amazing, you just need to blend longer and stir a few times
A food processor is cheaper AND u don’t gotta smash the almonds
Get a $50 food processor and u can do this !!!!
U can use a good processor!
I'm getting my first vitamix ever (a2500i) and I'm so fricking excited to be making nut butters and cashew sauces, etc.
can't wait😍😍😍
do you reckon you can make raw almond butter with it? thanks x
Hi Andra - how exciting! The Vitamix will be your new best friend, and yes, you can make raw almond butter with it :)
You will be glad u did
Thank you very much for sharing, beautiful recipes.
Thanks so much Cedar! :)
I am definately going to try and make some for myself.
Must it be stored in fridge?
Yes. It will quickly go rancid if left on the countertop or in a pantry as there's no preservatives.
I think to do this and look at my blender
My blender: am i a joke for you?
dang! that pouring looks sooooo satisfying
Did it an it turned out amazing. Roasted almonds with a pinch of salt
this is perfect as it's free from vegetable oil
Yes! You don't need any added oils when you make it from home. :)
Free from vegetable oil? Almonds have oil?
Gasgiant I assume they would rather count as nuts than vegetable but you have a point. Also I wonder why vegetable oils are unwanted? There are many vegetable oils with health benefits
Kai E. Most vegetable oils contain GMO ingredients and are chemically processed making it unhealthy. Expeller pressed healthy oils like avocado oil and olive oil aren’t neutral enough in taste to pair well with the almond butter and would overwhelm the natural almond taste. Lastly, yes, almonds produce their own oils which is why she roasted them first to help bring the oils out. 🤗
Gasgiant yes, almonds have natural oils which is why she roasted the almonds first, to bring out all of that natural oil. Many cosmetic companies use almond oil in beauty and hair products for its nutritive and moisturizing properties. Almond oil however isn’t good for frying or sautéing food as the smoke point isn’t very high at all and would cause the oil to burn quickly producing free radicals which can cause cancer.
How long will these last in the refrigerator?
It will keep for several months in the refrigerator. :)
Downshiftology ok I bought some almond butter in a deli type container and there were no instructions for refrigeration. So now it's bad?thanks for sharing
HOME MADE RAW BUTTER LASTS TWO WEEKS IN THE REFRIGERATOR
@@Talletc Don't spread lies and misinformation please. I've kept homemade almond butter in my fridge for 3 months, it was still as fresh as the day I made it. That is, unless you meant it only lasts 2 weeks because you consume it all by then.
@@Downshiftology A few comments down from this one (4 months ago), you replied that it will last 2 weeks in fridge. So, several months or 2 weeks?
Looks so creamy and good need to try this
Loving all your videos. Will use my vitamix more often after seeing this 😁
Wonderful! Happy to hear it Carolyn. :) x
I tried with food processor and started getting too hot and saw some smoke
, eventhou I pulsed. I switched to blender and still too thick.
M P haha
I have some raw cashews that I need to use. Do you ever make cashew butter? Would you roast them the same way you did the almonds? Thanks!
Yes! All the time. And I actually just posted a macadamia cashew butter recipe on my blog. You could do this exact recipe with 100% cashews if you'd like as well. So creamy and delish! :) downshiftology.com/recipes/macadamia-cashew-butter/
I am watching the latest season of Masterchef UK, and in the first episode Marcus Wareing made a cashew butter for one of the skills test. The comment he made was that if you did not heat the nuts first the oil will split (he added olive oil during teh blending). FWIW.
Thank you I really didn't know it was made that way. Thanks
That is an amazing blender
You owe me a new blender 😭
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, I know my blender would blow up.....
I have a cheap blender from Dollar General. I wouldn't dare try this with my current blender.
Bought the exact same vitamix today and followed your instructions. Didn’t work at all for me was like wet sand even after five minutes. Absolutely gutted and probably going to take the overpriced thing back to the shop.
Sorry to hear that. You can read through the comments on my website to see perhaps where things went wrong for you. And if you'd like to trouble shoot it I'm happy to help. I make almond butter monthly, so I guarantee that it works and numerous readers have made it with success as well. :)
Same thing happened to me too.
I didn’t have a Vitamix but used a Bosch multitalented 3. Have to say it didn’t work too well and I had to keep adding oil, which I didn’t want to do. The taste was good in the end but I can see how that stick with the Vitamix might come in handle. I’m guessing it had a much stronger motor as it is double or triple the price.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe i just made it right now and it's was amazing ❤️
Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed this almond butter recipe 😊
I just fell in love with that blender❤
It's the best one yet and creates perfect consistencies 😊
@@Downshiftology are u referring to vitamix A3500i?
