Butter Me Up

myself or restrict my diet to liquids. I committed myself to clean eating by eating ONLY fruits and vegetable for 5 days. During those 5 days protein was important. I ate my spinach and made it through, but after the initial 5 days I started adding in other healthy sources of protein, including peanut and almond butter. Consuming fresh ground nut butters provided a healthier option than the conventional brands like Skippy and Jiff. Even the "all natural" butter in your local supermarket contain added palm oil and evaporated cane juice (aka-sugar) for added flavor. The product I was eating was nothing but good ole nuts. Using an industrial grinder allows the nuts to mix with their own oils to provide finer particles and a smoother texture. So my idea was born. Instead of wondering why someone in our area didn't provide a product like this, I decided to become the provider!! I applied to our local Farmer's Markets and obtained all the necessary licensing to package and sell fresh ground nut butters. The rest, shall we say, is history in the making!
