Organic Lonica Lee: Homemade RAW Almond Butter!

Homemade RAW Almond Butter!

It was a snow day today, and all the kids were home from school, so I didn't want to go out to get groceries, but I needed something for sandwiches the next day. (My 9 year old son is fixed on having PBJ sandwiches every day - except we use almond butter.) I always used store bought, and suddenly realized I could make my own.

I just put about 1 cup of almonds into the Vitamix Vitaprep 3 dry container and pressed the button. Then I added a dash of salt and a bit of sweetener (this time coconut sugar). It was taking longer than I liked to come together so I added 1 tablespoon of raw coconut oil. Voila! It is creamy and delicious! And I don't have to scrape the ice and snow off of my car to go to the market! All in all, it took less than 5 minutes! And right afterwards my littlest girls wanted to eat it by dipping snap peas into it. (Their idea.)

Where to find it all...

Here's a link to my natural living website www.theorganiccompany.com
I've offered organic fiber clothing, bedding and other earth friendly products to my loyal customers since the spring of 1995 when I first became involved with the organic fiber market.

I organized an eco-fashion show/fund raiser for a local college environmental group and caused so much excitement that I borrowed money on my used Toyota to open a store. From a humble booth of some thirty organic cotton items, my retail store was born, and within a year of the grand opening we doubled the floor space, and received an award for Business Improvement from the local Chamber of Commerce.

Over the last fifteen years, my company has grown into one of the largest, most complete selections of organic fiber goods in the country, we have created our own line of organic bedding, locally produced exclusively for our worldwide customers. The Organic Company also offers organic bodycare products and organic makeup, sustainable housewares, eco-furniture, natural toys, and earth friendly gifts.

As a parent of four young children, I love to help people to raise organic kids, from explaining the easiest way to use organic cloth diapers to choosing an affordable, long lasting organic bed for the whole family. I have helped countless parents find precisely what they need for their babies and kids, and love to find just the right fit for each child.
