Alternating from peanut butter or caramel dip to almond butter dip will maximize the protein, fiber, and minerals in your child’s diet.Almond butter is rich in monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. People who follow a gluten-free diet have alternated from peanut butter to almond butter because it does not contain gluten. This type of protein derives from triticale, barley, wheat, and rye.

Soak the almonds for up to 12 hours or longer if possible. You can also safely soften almonds in an instant pot. You will find an almond instant pot recipe on Corrie Cooks.
