Almond Butter
Here is the almond butter I made in my Vita-Mix. It is really easy and takes just a few minutes. I used unsalted dry roasted almonds, and this works out to cost a lot less than pre-made almond butter in the store. I am really loving my Vita-Mix!
There is no recipe to post here because Vita-Mix provides specific instructions on making nut-butters. If you have a Vita-Mix, you have that info. Go make some nut butter!
Chocolate Dream Smoothie
As with all of my Vita-Mix smoothies, throw all of the ingredients in, turn to speed 10, then high, then enjoy.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups plain rice milk
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup shelled walnuts

These are so juicy, they come with a bib! You really can’t imagine that so much juice actually fits in a fruit.
I look forward to receiving HoneyBells each year as a gift from my mom, and this year I used them in the Vita-Mix. I can’t wait until next year.
Golden Scallops
Despite being a meal with three components, this dinner took little time to make. It is technically quite simple yet tastes somewhat complex.
Ingredients for Scallops:
- 1/2 TB garlic powder
- 1/2 TB onion powder
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup white wine
Mix the marinade in a bowl. Add the scallops and coat them evenly, and let them sit for 10 minutes or so. Then squeeze some lemon juice on top, stir them a little, and pour them with the marinade into a hot pan. Pan-fry on medium high for just a few minutes on each side. Do not over-cook them or they’ll end up like rubber.
I served these with my Mango Berry Chutney and some Saffron Rice, which was just some jasmine rice cooked with saffron, to which I added some peas at the end.
Saffron Rice:
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- pinch of saffron
- frozen peas
