Hey fit fam!
I'm Alyssia
And I'm so excited to welcome you to the first ever
YouTube channel episode of Mind Over Munch!
If you follow my Instagram account, @mindovermunch
Then you may be familiar with my homemade nut butter recipes
Making your own nut butter is easy, cheap, and so much healthier
Than buying it at the store because you don't need to
Add any oil, you really only need one ingredient, and that's
Nuts!
Peanuts today because I'm making peanut butter
But you can use almonds for almond butter
Cashews for cashew butter, really any kind of nut will do
Since this is MY nut butter, I'm going to make
one of my personal favorites with a flavor twist
Chai Spice peanut butter!
Chai is such a nostalgic flavor for me, because
Growing up my family and I had chai tea every afternoon
And it was something I really looked forward to!
The Chai Spice in this recipe is subtle, but super delicious
A nice twist to the healthy snack
Feel free to flavor your peanut butter however you would like!
For this cinchy recipe, I use peanuts
Honey, and my chai spice blend
For my blend I use cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg
Cardamom, and allspice, but you can adjust yours
To your spice preference
You will also need an empty jar, and your food processor
Just dump all those babies into the food processor
I like to start with my spices so that they don't all blow to the top
Then your nuts
And some honey
A bit more honey
And then you just give it a whirl...
Literally!
The nuts are gonna need to run in the processor for about five minutes
Just enough time to fit in a quick round of Tabata!
If you're not familiar with Tabata, it's nothing more than an interval exercise
Where you alternate 20 seconds of work, with 10 seconds of rest

Let's take a look
Awesome
You know it's almost there when you see
The magical dough ball
Once that baby breaks, you've only got another minute
Or two to go, and you're done!
Oh!
Let's check it out!
But wait!
Mmm, perfect!
Time for a taste test
Delicious!
If only I had...
A RICE CAKE
Look at that
It's creamy, it's delicious, and it's chai flavored
Just to my liking, with no added sugars or oils
How about that?
