Deep Chocolate Coconut Almond Butter
I’m so addicted to World Market right now. And buying dresses online. But mostly World Market. It’s by far one of the greatest stores ever. EVER.
I need to tell you something. Something that is very exciting. Mostly for me, not you. But I need to tell you anyways. I leave for Mexico today. Yep. I’ve packed my gigantic suitcase (that thankfully my girlfriend Sarah gave to me so I didn’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on a new one. Thank you very much, Sarah) and I’m off to the airport. Some friends have decided to take the plunge into the world of marriage. I’m seeing a common theme as I get older. Anywho, I’m headed there to watch them say their ‘I Do’s’ and then party the rest of the week. No, for real. This group likes to party. I’m not the best partier in the world, so it should be an interesting experience. I’m pretty sure I’ll be waking up every morning to workout and wait for someone else to wake up so I don’t have to eat breakfast by myself. That would just be embarrassing. Not really, but you know what I mean. How is it that I’m the youngest out of the group and I can’t drink that much? If I started to drink in the morning like so many of my friends will do, I would be in bed by 4. And even though that does slightly sound like my kind of vacation, that’s not really showing off my fun side. We’ll see how it goes. Wish me luck.
But don’t you worry. I’ll still have 3 new posts for you next week. I know, only 3?!? WTF, Juli. I suck. BUT it was all I could get done for you folks before I left. Sometimes you just gotta vacation.
I wonder what the food will be like at this resort. I haven’t been to this part of Mexico before, so I’m super interested what I’m in for. Pretty sure it will be like any other beach vacation I’ve been on, and well, I’m totally cool with that. Eat, drink, lay out, swim, eat, drink more, shower, eat and then sleep in a wonderful big bed. Beautiful. I just hope they have a decent gym. I’m totally down for working out on the beach, but after a while, the amount of sand you find in your crotch from doing burpees in the deep sand, gets old. I don’t even really own workout shorts at this point, so I was forced to run in my swimsuit at one point on my trip to the Dominican Republic. I can’t even imagine what that may look like. Frightening, at best.
Anywho, if you need some other paleo blogs to look at, check out Health-Bent for some of the greatest recipes you will ever taste. Not only do they have a gorgeous website to browse through tons of recipes, but they now have A COOKBOOK!! How exciting!??! I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on it! Their cookbook, Primal Cravings has over 100 new recipes with absolutely no almond flour in it, which I love!! Now go!!! Get it right now!

If I wanted to make chocolate almond butter would I just leave out the coconut butter? I don’t want any coconut flavor in it.
Online dresses WHERE? I get pulled into modcloth’s site often, but there are SO MANY CHOICES that I get completely overwhelmed and close out.
Can I pimp my favorite? http://www.ureshii.org/ – (I have blown so much money there, they probably read my name as $abrina.)
WoW! I’m going to make this tonight! My mouth is watering thinking about it!
Enjoy Mexico.
I would be in so much trouble if I made this…. CAN’T.STOP.EATING. lol
Would be good for a party (or by the spoonful, in the closet so the kids don’t try and steal it).
Have a great trip 🙂
You can’t drink all day unless you start in the morning!
This chocolate almond butter sounds sooooooo good! I can’t believe how easy it’s to make! Can’t wait to try it!
I’m totally trying this!!! I have all the ingredients at home. This is the perfect chocolate fix and so simple! 🙂
I’m curious about how/why you don’t own any workout shorts. I don’t really either, but that’s because most workout shorts don’t seem to fit my athletic figure, ironically.
they just don’t fit. they either squeeze my lil love handles, are too short, or squeeze my thighs. bummer
Um, that looks amazing. Just letting you know. I sort of want it inside me. 🙂
I can’t eat chocolate anymore – would you suggest upping the vanilla and cinnamon for some oomph? Or blending in melted white chocolate (which I can eat) somehow. So many recipes/products w/ chocolate and cocoa.
Have you tried carob? It’s delicious. I like it better than chocolate.
absolutely!
I love World Market; I was so sad when the Omaha store closed. I haven’t made almond butter for awhile; pinning this one for when the mood strikes again!

I love world market too! This would be so bad if I made it. So so bad.
So ironic you mention Health Bent!! I was wearing my paleomg headband when I hiked half dome in Yosemite last weekend and ran into someone on the cables who said, “PALEOMG! If you like that blog, check out Health Bent. We’re friends with the creator of Health Bent!” Just thought you’d like to know you’re being recognized at 8000+ft elevation, hanging off a rock. 🙂
This looks relish! Can’t wait to try! And I’m confused….why do you not own workout shorts? Did I miss something?
Love me some Health-Bent. Megan & Brandon (the authors) actually dropped in to my gym last week. Not only are they awesome cooks, but they were both amazing athletes too and super nice! They brought me their new cookbook and it is awesome ya’ll. Definitely a must have!
***delish. Dang autocorrect.
Have you stopped selling clothing? I was going to buy a tank top, but the renegade fitness website wasn’t working for me. I love your blog by the way!
i’ll have new shirts available soon!
Looks amazing!! Have the best time on vacay!!!
This looks amazing! So I’ve been trying to find some good shorts for CF, ones with a lot of motion, and breathable. Do you have any recommendations? My old ones are just about completely at the end of themselves 🙂 Hope Mexico was amazing! I looove the Ceviche down there!
i wish, i can’t find any shorts that fit me. lululemon used to work for me though!
Well I am about to ninja this recipe and turn it into ice cream! Wish me luck 😀

Um, this looks divine! Just got your book and am loving it (although I managed to mess up the chicken basil loaf). 🙂
Can you please stop posting amazing recipes like this? I’ve made it, no joke, at least 3 times now..yes, in the last week. The first two times with olive oil instead of almond oil – and it was still amazing. I left out the coconut cream both times..the first time it was a little dry, so I added a little bit more olive oil the second time. Bought almond oil this weekend and made it again, the texture is totally different, way more smooth – almond oil is totally worth it! (But I still love my two previous attempts, still delicious and a little different of a taste.)
Also, two years ago I never thought I’d ever ever wear capris/pants to workout. Now, I can’t imagine ever wearing shorts again. I just feel like it’s way easier to squat/do burpees/etc. with pants?

Random question — why is it so great that the cookbook does not have almond flour ? Just sick of it?
I have pretty bad allergies with almonds and get sick with the almond flour recipes
1. Holy whoa! This is so not just chocolate coconut almond butter! It tastes like…brownie batter or something!!! I have no idea why this is so good. Juli, you’re a genius.
2. Your blog has me curious abut CrossFit. (I’m scared!)
3. I don’t comment on blogs. But I just had to this time. That’s how good this shit is!
★★★★★
Don’t be scared!!! Just find a gym you love and feel comfortable at!
This tastes great! Thanks Julie! Dumb question……do you store in refrigerator?
Yes or freezer! Just pull out ahead so you don’t break a tooth haha
