This nutrient-dense pumpkin seed butter contains no sugar or unhealthy oils and is a safe alternative for “nut-free” kids. We like to spread this on flax crackers, roasted nori sheets, green apples, waffles, and celery sticks 🙂 This is a stage 1 safe food for people on The Body Ecology Diet; just do not overdo this one as can be mucus-forming and hard-to-digest.

4 Tbs. flax, hemp, or other cold-pressed oil
1/2 tsp. green stevia powder

Method
Place all ingredients into a high-quality blender, such as a Vita-Mix.

Store in fridge to keep for quite some time unless there is double-dipping!
Tips
