Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (140 g / 4.9 oz) raw almonds
  • 1 cup (140 g / 4.9 oz) raw cashews
  • 1 scoop / 30g (1.06 oz) dairy-free keto vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) MCT oil or melted coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons (36 g / 1.27 oz) granular erythritol
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g / 0.53 oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.5 g / 0.05 oz) sea salt
  • SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
  • Food processor or high-powered blender
  • For a deeper, richer flavor, lightly toast the nuts on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool completely before processing.
  • If your nut butter is too thick, add more MCT or coconut oil, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  • A high-powered blender like a Vitamix can be used. You may need to use the tamper to keep the mixture moving and prevent overheating.
  • Experiment with other flavorings! Try adding a ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for a different twist.

Method
 

  1. DIRECTIONS
  2. Place the raw almonds and cashews into a large, powerful food processor. Process for 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  3. Add the protein powder, MCT oil, erythritol, cocoa powder, and sea salt to the food processor.
  4. Continue to process for 5-10 minutes, or until the butter is smooth and creamy. The time will vary depending on your machine, so be patient!
  5. Transfer the nut butter to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
