Nut butter!


I love almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter - any kind of nut butter and I am a fan! Recently I got a Champion juicer. I like to juice, but the main reason for wanting one was to make nut butters!

I made several jars for gifts and had to make some for myself as well. It is so easy when you have the right tools!

I used roasted, salted nuts (almonds and cashews) and ran them through the Champion. It really doesn't get any easier than this.

My only complaint about the Champion is that it is hard to clean, but this time around, I soaked the parts for a little while and the clean up was much easier YAY!!!

The almonds are roasted and go into the feeder:



Use the tamper to push the almonds into the chamber to make the nut butter:


Here's the finished product, catch it in a clean jar and you are ready to enjoy!

  2. Oh, I use to have a juicer like that and I remember it said you could make nut butters with it. Someday I've got to invest in another one of those!

    Thanks for stopping by Peas Love Carrots!

  3. Okay you know i have that exact same juicer. I didn't realize you could do that. And soaking them is a brilliant idea, because I agree, it is difficult to clean. I will start doing that. How many almonds for one jar, and is it just straight almond?

  7. Hi. Thanks for following me. I'm following you now too. We had a jar of cashew butter before & it was really good. I'm not big on peanut butter unless it's with chocolate.
