Organic Activated Almond Coconut Butter
$14.50 – $29.00
Activated almond butter is given a little twist by the addition of home-made coconut butter. The coconut butter is made by simply blending flaked coconut together (highly recommended – and a much cheaper option than buying it ready-made!) resulting in an almost ridiculously thick and creamy spread, which is added to the almonds. Adding coconut butter as opposed to oil gives the nutty almond taste a slight coconutty creaminess, without that oily taste that you get form the more usual coconut oil. The coconut butter also gives extra fibre and of course all those fantastic fats that coconut is so famous for.
Use as a spread on just about anything (its also very good on apples and bananas), as a dip, or include in baking or smoothies. Or just eat with a spoon for an instant boost.

Health Benefits
Almonds: Almonds contain the most nutrients and protein of all nuts. They are rich in phytochemicals (plant components that promote heart and vascular health), and a leading source of vitamin E, magnesium, protein, fibre, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and iron. As with most nuts, they are very low in saturated fats, with most fats present as monounsaturated. Studies have shown that eating almonds can help reduce weight and diabetic problems.

Coconut: Coconut is a complete food rich in calories, fibre, vitamins and minerals. It is rich in the saturated fatty acid lauric acid, which increases the ‘good’ HDL cholesterol in your blood. It has a high content of medium-chain triglycerides, which your body breaks down to use as energy instead of storing as fat.
