This is a really fun and tasty dish. I eat this for a lunch or a snack. It's super easy and I think you'll be surprised at how delicious this tastes! We are going to start out by making your own almond butter! Don't panic, you just need almonds!
Equipment: Food processor/blender
Ingredients:
1 cup almonds
1 apple
1 banana
pinch of salt
1. Place your almonds with a dash of salt in your food processor.
2. Now start mixing it and after about 2 minutes, you will need to scrape the sides down with a rubber spatula.
3. Now in this picture (above), we have what we call 'nut meal' or 'almond flour'.. just a fyi :) But we need more of a pasty texture, so keep blending, and scraping, and blending, and scraping...
4. After about 5 or 6 mins, you will have a spreadable almond butter. Now if you still don't, add just 1 tsp of olive oil/grapeseed oil. Add it WHILE it's mixing to evenly distribute the oil. Keep blending and scraping. Remember, it's homemade. You don't want it all liquid-y and runny.. Just a spreadable texture!
5. Now cut your apple crosswise. Like this...
6. Slice the apple so you have a 'sandwich'... I cut mine this thick....
7. Cut out the 'star' with a small knife to form circles.
8. Now spread your almond butter on each slice and place some sliced banana on it!
9. Now put it together and eat it!!
*I bet you'll be surprised at how much flavor this has! MMMMMMMMM!
ENJOY!!
