Healthy Hints
Almond butter contains less than a quarter of the harmful saturated fat found in butter, so it’s a much healthier choice. You can buy it from grocery stores and health food shops. Or make it at home by soaking almonds in warm water for 15-20 minutes, then remove the skin and grind into a fine paste. Alternatively, you could use peanut butter.
