Eating a variety of nut butters, rather than eating Peanut Butter consistently, will give you more nutrition, as each nut has a variety of vitamins and minerals. Walnuts are high in Omega-3s, Peanuts are known for their Niacin (Vitamin B) content, and Almonds are a great source of Vitamin E.
To make your own nut butters, simply toast your nuts of choice (one type or a combination) in an over for about 20 minutes at 275 degrees. Straight from the oven place them in a food processor and run until smooth, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl. Delicious, economical and healthy!
