If you’ve tried our Sprouted Amaretto Almond nut butter, you already know that it is uniquely delicious! But let us give you a few more reasons to enjoy it regularly:
1. Metabolism Boost
Almond butter is the perfect option for those looking to rev their metabolisms and drop unwanted weight. Since almond butter is made with a combination of omega 3 healthy fats and plant-based protein, it satiates for a long time and can help to reduce hunger and overall calorie intake if eaten on a daily basis. Almonds are also higher in protein than other tree nuts, which helps to build muscle. Having more muscle mass ignites your daily calorie burn, even while at rest!
2. Almonds are a Superfood
Almonds are a rich source of antioxidants and nutrients. A serving of almond butter is an excellent source of vitamin E, which can contribute to glowing skin and improved immunity. They also offer magnesium, which makes them a great bedtime snack, and a good chunk of heart healthy monounsaturated fats, which is helpful to prevent heart disease and brings down inflammation.
3. It’s Sprouted!
Our almond butter is a cut above all the rest because we take it one step further by soaking them for many hours, rinsing them thoroughly, and dehydrating them before processing them into creamy nut butter. This creates a sweeter, crispier, and more nutrient dense almond with a flavor profile we like to call ‘Amaretto’. We sprout our organic almonds because raw almonds have tannic acid and an enzyme inhibitor in their brown skin that protects the nut until the proper levels of sunlight and moisture allow it to germinate. Since the nut does not release its enzymes until those conditions have been reached, eating almonds without removing the inhibitor limits the nutrients your body can absorb and makes the almond difficult to digest.
