Seed butter is difficult to come by in the supermarkets, and it’s nearly impossible to find one that tastes great. This is a delicious nut-free substitute for nut butters in smoothies, as a condiment or binding agent in some gluten free baking. This is also a great lunchbox snack or spread, as it is school friendly. I hope you enjoy it! Love Nik xx

Is it essential that the seeds are hulled?
Where do you get the hulled seeds from?
The seeds you buy in the supermarket, generally the ‘healthy’ section, are hulled. Just make sure you don’t get the bird seed ones from the pet aisle!
Thank you Nik, you are a very special young lady. I have been following you for quite a few years and have 3 of your
wonderful recipe books.. I was getting them to be ready for when I got my Thermie… I ended up getting a CE Magimix when they come out..I love it…Then in 2015 was a start of medical problems which put the skids on my cooking hopes…after three years I’m now getting back into the swing of things..I’m looking forward to your new book The Healthy Mix lll. I have the original The Healthy Mix and will be buying the Healthy Mix ll and lll. But Rome wasn’t built in a day and being a pensioner, you have to pace yourself with your spending..I just love your first healthy mix…I love how you have the basic recipes first to help with the following amazing recipes that use them..we live in Victor Harbor and I often wonder if I will run into you, if you and Michael bring your children down to see the whales…all the best Brenda
I’m lucky to have a child with sesame allergies as well as peanut allergies. Any suggestions on what I can use instead of sesame?
Just use more sunflower seeds or Pepitas
Great! Can you just use sugar instead of sweetener?
Preferred sweetener means just that i.e. sugar, coconut sugar etc 😃
Great, thanks! How do you advise storing it and how long will it keep? thanks

I keep homemade peanut butter in the fridge so I’d store in the fridge.😉
