High Protein Honey Almond Butter
This honey almond butter is crazy addicting and provides a healthy dose of protein (12 grams per serving) and collagen with every bite! It's great on oatmeal, yogurt, toast, and dark chocolate, but there's a good chance you'll just want to eat it by the spoonful.
Equipment
- food processor or VitaMix
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsalted almonds
- 30 g collagen powder* (3 servings)
- 1 Tbsp oil**
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/8 tsp Himalayan sea salt
Instructions
- Spread almonds onto a baking sheet or place into the Ninja Foodi basket and roast at 350 for 5 minutes (optional). Let cool.
- Place almonds in a food processor or VitaMix and pulse/blend. If using a Vitamix start at the lower speed and gradually increase the speed as the almonds become finer. Stop and use a spatula to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Continue to blend/process until desired consistency is achieved. This can take at least 10 minutes in a food processor. Don't give up!
- Once smooth add remaining ingredients and blend until well mixed.
- Transfer to an air tight container and store in the fridge. Enjoy!
Notes
*I used this Marine Collagen
**I used MCT oil but avocado oil or other neutral flavored oils would likely work.
