Nutella's loaded with sugar. I use this recipe I found on backpackinglight.com. You can vary the ingredients to suit yourself (I use honey instead of agave syrup, and add cocoa powder).<BR/><I><BR/>Super Spackle<BR/><BR/>I wanted to create a calorie packed goop that I could add to my morning oatmeal, but I found that it’s more enjoyable to “drink” straight from the bottle. I got the idea after a long day when I gorged myself on straight almond butter. It was so satisfying! I wanted to put it in a squeeze tube so I could partake of its goodness without a spoon.<BR/><BR/>This stuff is so ridiculously rich, that just a tiny bit is unbelievably gratifying.<BR/><BR/> * 1 cup Almond Butter<BR/> * 1 cup Cashew Butter<BR/> * 1/4 cup agave syrup<BR/> * 1/4 cup macadamia nut oil<BR/> * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<BR/> * 1 tiny splash of almond extract<BR/> * pinch of salt<BR/><BR/>Put all the ingredients in a big measuring cup. With a fork and a strong arm, start mixing it all together. This stuff is gloppy and thick. Get it just thin enough that you can get it through a funnel and into a soda bottle. You can add more of the macadamia nut oil if it’s too thick. Actually, a 0.75 liter plastic bottle, the kind they sell at the grocery store for spring water, works the best. The plastic is just a little thinner, and it makes a good “squeeze” bottle. Any time the Super Spackle came out of my backpack, I found myself surrounded by very friendly teammates with their spoons at the ready!<BR/></I>stonepittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572968242799197477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-57189051082838346512009-03-04T09:02:00.000-05:002009-03-04T09:02:00.000-05:00Love the stuff.
