loving lately + almond butter

(coconut hot chocolate) 

(homemade almond butter) 

(spinach in my smoothie) 

(a huge new glass apothecary jar for my beach finds) 

(avocado toast with honey and black pepper)

almond butter:

roast 2 cups of raw almonds at 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until dark and fragrant (in my oven it took 15 minutes)

let cool, then blend in the food processor until smooth (it took me about 2-3 minutes with some scraping  once in a while)

so simple, so good. i think it would be even better to add a little honey, but i usually just drizzle honey on top on my toast
