Roast & Cool: Preheat the oven to 350 F. On a parchment paper or a silcone covered baking sheet roast the whole almonds for about 10 minutes in the oven. Let the almonds cool down, about 10 minutes.
Process: When the warm almonds have cooled, place them in the food processor container and secure the lid. Start the machine. Process for 7 minutes, then stop to scrape down the sides. Keep processing for about another 5.
Smoothie & Creamy: Scroll up to see photos of what the almond butter looks like at different stages of processing. After about 12 minutes of processing the almonds will become a runny and creamy texture, if it is still thick keep processing or blending.
Storage: When it becomes runny and drippy if you choose, you can add ¼ teaspoon of salt for flavor. It is now ready! Store it in a mason jar or any sealing glass jar, keep it in the fridge and enjoy within 2 weeks to a month.

- Crunchy Almond Butter: Save ½ cup of the roasted almonds, add these when the almond butter is starting to look more liquidy at about 11 minutes. Blend for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until they become small pieces.
- Salted Caramel: Add ½ teaspoon of sea salt and 3 tablespoons of coconut sugar.

- Chocolate Almond Butter: Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar (or cane sugar).
