Happy almost Friday! How's the week going so far? I am so proud to say that I have been doing very good with my push up challenge! I am doing at least 20 a day! And I feel they keep getting easier and easier, meaning I will have to up my push up count!
So last Sunday was my second Mother's Day as a mother, and it is just awesome to be one! I couldn't have it any other way! I was surprised by this....
I was one happy mamma! I wanted one for a while, specially now with trying the raw diet, which means a lot of chopping and processing! The first thing that came in mind was to make almond butter, of course!
I knew it was pretty easy, just put the almonds and process until you get a smooth paste. But I did a quick google research and one website said process for about 15 minutes. Yeah.... right....
After 15 minutes I didn't have a paste, not even close to it. All I had was almond flour (at least it's a start, right...). Once a got a good flour going and it started to stick to the bottom, I knew I was getting somewhere and I added some coconut oil and maple syrup. It took me about 30-40 minutes of processing and scraping and then....
TAH DAHHH!!!! Almond butter!!! I was pretty impressive with it! It tasted pretty awesome, and despite the fact it takes a long time to make it, it is super easy! Plus, it is worth it if you can get the almonds at a good sale price! (I get mine at costco)
I will definitely try with other nuts. Cashew butter will be next!

So remember our insanity challenge? It were going to start in June, but decided to rush things and we are starting next week! A good friend of ours is going to join us and we find a time that the three of us can do it at the same time! I am frankly a little scared but so excited to try something new!
LET THE BIKINI SEASON START! INSANITY STYLE!
What's your favorite nut butter???
