Homemade Peanut Butter

Almost all store bought peanut butters contain lots of added ingredients such as salt, sugar and cooking oils. So far I haven’t found one that lives up to my favourite Meridian Almond Butter, seriously I can go through a jar of this stuff in 24 hours! It’s incredibly easy to make and you can be sure all of the ingredients are naturally sourced so super healthy for you. Try playing around with the recipe by adding almonds and cacao powder for a healthy take on Nutella.
