[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3]mix it with some coconut oil and unsweetened cocoa for a treat.
spoon it into celery boats.
you can also cook it with it, like you would a peanut sauce on some steamed veggies or stir-fry. thin it with some hot water, add some hot sauce and add into your dish.
nut butters are a total trigger for me. no can keep in house.[/SIZE][/FONT]
Cut up an apple and dip in it.
Second the stir-fry idea. Although I like to dump some coconut aminos in there to give it a little bit of peanut-teriyaki kind of taste.
Spread it on really good unsweetened baking chocolate. It's a poor substitute for a Reese's peanut butter cup, but I like it.
Dip in a spoon, pull out the spoon loaded with almond butter, put the spoon in your mouth, and lick it all off.
Apple
Celery
Put it on a hamburger patty... trust me. It sounds weird but I think it's delicious.
I lightly saute banana in some butter. Remove from heat. In a separate bowl I mix some extra virgin coconut oil unsweetened cocoa and almond butter. Drizzle over banana and enjoy. You could add sweetener to the sauce, but don't really need it.
Slice strawberries in half and put a little dollop in the middle and re-join in a nut butter fruit sandwich :D
I usually do this with walnut or pecan butter, but think it'd work with almond butter: Fill the inside of raspberries with little dollops and devour! It's sooooo good.
