Today I’m making butternut squash and the seeds! This is a whole 30 compliant side dish that you could serve at a holiday dinner or just for an every day meal. I probably cook this once a week or so. You could substitute carrots or sweet potato and it is just as amazing! You don’t get the seeds as a bonus, but it works well if you don’t want to worry about the seeds. 🙂
This is a collab! Check out their videos here:

Why I prefer Sweet Leaf Brand (NOT Sponsored): http://foodbabe.com/2013/04/25/stevia-good-or-bad/
Filling
1/4 cup almond butter
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup maple syrup
Chocolate
2 bakers chocolate bars, chopped
Microwave in 30 second increments then stir, 3 times. (Total 1.5 minutes)
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons stevia powder (or to taste)
Pour about a tablespoon of the chocolate into each of the molds and swirl it around. Place a flattened scoop of the filling in each. Cover with drizzled chocolate. Refrigerate 1 hour. Serve with whatever kind of milk you like! Yum!
Note: I tried melting the chocolate in a double boiler on the stove and it seized and hardened and was unusable! If you are 100% anti-microwave go for the double boiler method and good luck to you. I, however, am ok with using the microwave on special occasions…like melting chocolate. 😉

Today we’re learning how to make soaked almond butter! I hope you like this recipe / tutorial. It has a few steps, but is worth it, because it’s absolutely delicious and the soaking step makes the nutrients easier and more available for your body to absorb! If you recreate this recipe I would love to see a pic! Tag me on Instagram @abeautifulhorizon. 🙂
My high speed Blendtec blender is my FAVORITE kitchen tool. I also use it for milling grain, making super smooth smoothies with greens, making tomato sauce with the WHOLE tomato, etc. This thing blends everything to bits. Check it out here: http://amzn.to/2nJ52AJ
For nut butters I use the twister jar (I have the regular size, not the mini): http://amzn.to/2nieBeP
RECIPE:
2 Cups raw almonds
4 Cups water
1 Tablespoon salt
Let sit on the counter overnight. Drain and Rinse. Dehydrate in oven at lowest heat, or in a dehydrator for 12-24 hours (the longer the better to blend easily). Blend in high speed blender until smooth. YUM!
