does this make really creamy raw almond butter

You really want a blender for creamy nut butters - you can do the initial chopping in a food processor, but a blender will give you better results. :)

I've made a nut "cream" with soaked cashews and the soaking liquid, with good results. I use my food processor for nut butters, and wouldn't even try it in this blender. I think that it wouldn't work well and it looks like it would be a pain to scrape a nut butter out of ANY blender. UPDATE: I decided to try it myself. This blender had no problems being adequately powered for the job. The cashew butter that I made turned out much smoother and creamier than with my food processor. I did need to add water so that it would blend without my scraping the sides every few seconds. But when I refrigerate it, it will be solid enough.

Agreed, unless you live somewhere very warm. It's always solid. What you could do is melt it and mix it with olive oil or almond oil.. or any oil you want. That way it won't be quite as hard. Once your mixture firms up just use a mixer to make it creamy.

No, it's pasteurized, per US law. If you're looking for raw the laws vary from state to state, and in some you may find raw butter. I mostly use my butter for cooking, so whether it was raw or not would make no difference for me. In the end it's the fact that this butter is cultured that gives it its wonderful flavor. I've made my own raw butter before, separating the cream from raw Jersey cow milk, culturing it, then churning it. It was delicious, but never as good as Kerry Gold.

This is unrefined, so it may have some lumps in it. And it shouldn't be 'creamy' - it should be relatively firm, to where you have dig some of it out and rub it on your warm skin to get it creamy like butter. You rub the lumps just like the rest and it should become buttery.

Hi, I'm sorry I just saw this...I would say "no" as I have found a lot of "spreads" and "butters" are mostly oil and this stuff is the full coconut; pulp, cold processed so that you get flavorful fiber with it...HOWEVER...I have just found Artisana Oganics , Raw Coconut Butter, Whole Coconut Purée that is the same full pulp& oil content as this product. So I scout for whole, organic, cold processed. Am using it to enrich my coconut kifer

this almond butter has NO sweetener whatsoever- there is only one ingredient, and that is almonds. I have become quite fond of this nut butter- it is a tad runny, but just keep stirring

I've used it to make peanut butter, but not almond butter. Really great machine for everything I've tried.

I tried to make almond milk yogurt with this starter in an Instant Pot with the yogurt making function with no success. I have also unsuccessfully tried cashew and coconut milk. I am actually an testing it right now to make sure it is actually alive. If I find it to be a dud, I will follow up here. I did end up purchasing GI Pro Start (also vegan) that I have found a bit more successful.

you can't really make butter from the powder, not to use the way you would butter. i've added a teaspoon of powder to things i was cooking, but it didn't give that rich butter taste i was hoping for. it might be good in baked stuff but i don't bake.

I have made almond milk with great success in the ronco juicer. I find it much easier than using my vitamix and then a nut bag... I usually run the liquid through a second time just to make sure all small bits are out and it leaves you with a smooth milk. I have not used the juicer for almond butter. I am seeing that you sent me this email quite some time ago, and am wondering if you, at this point, have used the juicer for almond butter?

yes! I compared this to the vitamix and decided to keep this one for 1/10 the price. It made both almond and coconut butters just as smooth as well a blending the greens in green smoothies. The only difference is it takes a few minutes longer. Keep tamping at the edges and it will liquify then let it run for a few minutes...I leave the room :)

No, this Raw Almond Butter does not contain and Soy, or Soy by-products. My wife is adamant to avoid ALL Soy products, as recommended by her nutritionist. it was a bit runny though. If you have a Wal-Mart close to you, they now carry MaraNatha Smooth and Crunchy almond butter, which costs Between $6 -7.00 for 12 ounces. Wishing you well in your search, and good health. john

No it does not make but butter. It is predominantly used to make batter using rice and different kind of dhals. This batter can be used to make dosa or idli

I haven't tried to make peanut or almond butter with it, because I use my food processor. But I don't think you should make nut butters with it, because you're not supposed to leave the nutribullet running for more than a minute, and it takes about 12 minutes to make smooth nut butters. Hope that helps!

Peanute/cashew butter was the first thing I tried in this unit when I got it, because I was skeptical. But Oh my gosh, it makes the best, creamy, all natural nut butter of any kind! Nothing to add, just nuts! You'll love it!
