Making your own nut butter at home is incredibly easy to do and a great way to control the ingredients. All you need is a high-speed blender or food processor to get started.

Dragon fruit is a little-known ingredient that comes from the papaya family. If you haven’t tried it, you must! The taste is subtle and adds a unique texture to foods. It enhances this nut butter with its tiny seeds so you get a fun, tiny crunch in every bite.

The dragon fruit and strawberries add a good amount of liquid to the nut butter, so you don’t need to add oil to the recipe to get the smooth consistency.

You can also easily customize this pink almond butter with other fruits. Raspberries, blueberries, pineapple and mango would be delicious substitutions!

Enjoy your Strawberry Nut Butter on a slice of Paleo coconut bread, in a smoothie bowl with fresh fruit, or right out of the jar!
