Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Thanks Tori - That's a great suggestion. Better than slopping it all over the counter while trying to stir it. And the natural nut butters are much better for you than the hydrogenated fat that is in the regular peanut butters, etc. Appreciate the tip!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 That's a great tip Tori! I've been stiring mine up really well before it goes in the frige, then it's not that big a deal to mix up before you use it .. just the first time that is so bad. I will try your tip and see if it's even better Pam B. PS. We had lunch today at the mongolian grill and I thought of you - we should try to do lunch again sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Hey Tori, Yup, it was me. I may just have the wrong kind of nut butter. I've slopped the oil all over the counter so what I have left is sort of the ground glass part. And really I've tried my darnedst with those smoothies. Trouble is that no matter how I try to disguise the whey powder (which is the whole point of the smoothies) I can still smell it! It takes an hour to get down and then my stomach burns like crazy. In fact it burns for the rest of the day. Something must be telling me to not have whey powder. I'm, at least for now, honoring that feeling. But I will turn my next jar of nut butter upside down and put it in the fridge next to the healthy green food. That way I'll probably just spill cold oil on the floor! I'm hypo. I can be klutzy for now right? Laurel Re: Oily Nut Butters > Thanks Tori - > > That's a great suggestion. Better than slopping it all > over the counter while trying to stir it.
