It seriously doesn't get any
easier than this - I literally
blend a container of whichever flavor of almonds I have on hand (
for today's recipe, I used their
slightly salted almonds) and voila - Instant (and cheaper!)
* 2 cups raw, organic walnuts, toasted in a 300 degree F oven
for 20 minutes and then cooled
slightly (if you have time to soak your walnuts in water overnight first, go ahead and do so... this can help make them
easier to digest; if you do soak them, rinse them in clean water and pay dry before toasting them, or skip the toasting step) * 1 tablespoon toasted walnut oil (or use a different neutral oil like grapeseed) * 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, plus more to taste * 1/4 cup unsweetened, unsulphured dried cherries, chopped (I bought mine at Trader Joe's) * pinch or two of fine Himalayan or sea salt (start with one pinch,
blend, taste, and add more if needed) * 1 - 2 tablespoons cacao nibs or finely chopped dark chocolate
