Winter Spiced Almond Butter

We’re just 6 days away from Christmas and I feel like I’ve managed to turn every meal into a festive one. Whether it’s adding peppermint to my chocolate smoothie or nutmeg to my coffee, I can’t seem to stray away from all the festive vibes. (Must be the Christmas radio station I haven’t turned off since Nov 1).

I had yet to holiday-fy my daily almond butter serving(s) until I was lucky enough to attend dinner with the @thefeedfeed and Vitamix clan a few weeks back. There they unveiled the brand new Vitamix Ascent A3500 machine plus a Winter Spice mix that the Vitamix culinary team created. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on both the machine and the Winter Spice so I could get super creative and festive in the kitchen!

I have been an avid Vitamix user since 2013. My machine gets put to work a minimum of 3 times per day, between my bulletproof coffee, morning smoothie and then (a few hours later) my husband’s morning smoothie. But I also love using it for recipes you may not think of right away, like making salad dressings or even ice cream!

So between the brand new machine and Spice mix, I knew some holiday magic was about to go down in my kitchen. When I opened it up and finally finished screaming like a little girl on Christmas morning, I saw it had 5 digital settings, including a “spread setting.” Right away I knew what was about to happen…none other than some Winter Spiced Almond Butter.

All you need are 2 ingredients: almonds and Winter Spice. Now Winter Spice isn’t something you can buy but it is a super easy and delish recipe on the Vitamix website! So if you have those 2 ingredients and 2 minutes (literally, this machine is an animal!!) you’ll have your Winter Spiced Almond Butter in a flash!

Thanks to @thefeedfeed and Vitamix for partnering with me on this recipe and I hope you guys enjoy!
