I show them a serving of nuts; tell them calorie content, encourage them to think about their likelihood of eating more than a serving; encourage pre-portioning or using measuring cups/tablespoons etc but in the end I feel that telling people to avoid a food can backfire or make them desire it more.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I am a fairly new Vitamix owner and haven't done alot with it yet. So I just had to try the peanut butter. I didn't really need peanut butter right now but I just wanted to play. Awesome. It isn't totally smooth but mostly. I didn't want to blow the machine up. lol. And clean up wasn't too bad.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I have made nut butter every 2 weeks for months now in my Vitamix for a friend and some for me too. It ALWAYS comes out creamy smooth just as store bought peanut butter. If yours is not that creamy, you could stop the Vitamix, let it rest and blend again. Or you could add a little oil. If you are making a nut butter with almonds, add a teaspoon of almond oil to get the Vitamix blending the nut butter smoother. If you are only grinding up almonds, they are a very hard nut and it would be helpful to add a softer nut like pecans, walnuts or cashews to grind with them. I also find that if I roast the nuts they grind up much easier and are much smoother than using raw nuts. I made 3 different kinds of pistachio butter for my brother's birthday last year. None of them were good. They were too thick, hard to spread and did not grind up all the way even with adding lots of oil. If anyone else has been able to make pistachio butter, let us know how you did it. And shelling the nuts took a lot of extra time too. You can add Brazil nuts to your nut butter. I have done it several times. My favorite blend now is almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and a few flax seeds (I do not roast the flax seeds) and a little cinnamon.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I think perhaps I could have let it run a few seconds more. I just hadn't made it before so not sure what I was doing. It says not to let it run more than a minute after it gets the nuts ground up and I doubt I ran it that long. I was going to time it but forgot to push start on the timer. Honestly it was so close to smooth though that it doesn't matter. sherry > > I have made nut butter every 2 weeks for months now in my Vitamix for a friend and some for me too.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I am going to try your favorite combo-sounds very good but may leave out cinnamon until I taste it.
