Kitchen Blenders

Hello,
I am trying to make almond butter from raw almonds but it just doesnt come out as creamy as it is from the store. I checked the ingredients on several jars and they claim they put nothing into it but raw almonds, it drives me crazy… i tried and failed with grinders and the bullet blender so I went the extra mile and bought a vita-mix 5200 but even that doesn’t make it creamy.
It is just too dry. Somebody said that i should soak it before or add some oil. Is there a way to make home made raw almond butter without anything added? I found a commercial grinder olde tyme but i find it very pricey for 2k… i found a used one on ebay for 900… wow…

please, any ideas? or recipes? or am I just really missing something here? I am so frustrated, gonna hate almonds for the rest of my life
hello,
the main thing is that I am trying to find a grinder, juicer, food processor which actually makes raw nut butter without added oil…
any idea?

How to make Almond Butter (Recipe)?
Raw almond butter is made from un-roasted blanched almonds

Almonds are a good source of proteins, and have the highest amount of dietary Vitamin E. This makes almond butter very important to vegetarians. For proteins, 2 Tablespoons of Almond butter would be same as 1 ounce of lean meat.

To make almond butter, used a Food Processor at continuous operation. Salt is added for flavor. Without oil, it will make a clump of nuts. Oil is added to give it a paste like consistency. I have used Canola oil. If you are a purist, use Almond oil in lieu of Canola oil. I have elected to roast almonds for flavor.

Ingredients
1. Blanched Almonds : 2 Cups
2. Salt: ¼ teaspoon
3. Canola Oil: 4 to 6 Tablespoons

Method
For raw Almond butter, Skip Step 1.

Step 1: Dry roast whole almonds in a pre-heated oven at 300º F for about 20 minutes. This will release their nutty aroma. Let them cool off to room temperature.
Step 2: Add almonds, salt, and Canola oil to a food processor. Puree it to a desired consistency. Add more Canola oil for smoother texture if desired.
Step 3: Transfer the contents to a clean jar with tight lid. Store in the refrigerator.

!:Is Zit worth paying that hefty price tag for a vita mix even if you can afford it or not?

2:What type of blender do you own pros and cons of it

3:Since Vita mix are around $340 how much would you be willing to spend on a blender

Thanks for answering because i need a blender but done know which one to get

Right now I’m using the “Magic Bullet” and for larger prep I use a Cuisinart food processor. They work fine for me but I’ve read so many great things about the Vita-Mix that I’m gonna get that one when my other machines give out.

The magic bullet is great for small things like smoothies and homemade dip but it often gets jammed and you have to take it out and shake it which can be annoying.

My Cuisinart is an 11-cup monster. It’s strange though…almost everything I make is either too small an amount to use the thing or too large an amount and I have to process a little at a time.

Save up for a little bit and go for the Vita-Mix.

need used vita mix or wearing comercial blender

Ebay. Commercial equipment. Real online auctions are good. Everything starts for a $1
