So another one of my favorite things to do with flax seed? Peanut Butter! YUM! Once you make your own peanut butter, it is very hard to go back to regular peanut butter. Why? The easiest way for me to describe it – it takes synthetic, plastic, and a little off (store bought, that is). Most peanut butter – skippy, jif, peter pan – is just loaded with HFCS ( High Fructose Corn Syrup). HFCS wreaks havoc with weight loss, childhood obesity, the spare tire look because it creates a HUGE spike in your Insulin levels, which is the FAT STORING hormone.
Anyhoo – this peanut butter might feel different to your palate if its accustomed to having the plastic-like smoothness of regular peanut butter. But after a few times – you will slowly begin to prefer it. And then you will wince at the regular peanut butter you once thought of as a comfort-ally.
For this recipe, you will need a Vita-Mix or other high speed blender.
