Ingredients Needed

8 oz macadamia nuts: high fat, naturally low histamine, smooth texture.
1/6 tsp 100% pure monk fruit powder: for sweetness, doesn’t spike histamine.
3–5 drops stevia (optional): if you like a little extra sweet.
1/8 tsp Redmond Real Salt: unprocessed, mineral-rich, optional.

How To Make Low Histamine Nut Butter

Blend the Nuts:
Dump everything into your food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse it a few times so it doesn’t freak out.

Go Full Speed:
Now hit it. Blend on high. It’ll look like powder first. Then it’ll get chunky. Then it might form a weird ball and look like it’s stuck. You’ll panic. Don’t. Just scrape the sides.

Smooth It Out:
Keep going. Macadamias are loaded with fat, so it will turn into butter. Keep scraping. Keep blending. Suddenly it’s like…velvet.

Set the Texture:
Pop it in the freezer for a few hours for that thick, spreadable texture — kinda like cream cheese. Or leave it at room temp if you want it thinner.

Recipe Tips

For low histamine, only use freshly opened macadamias (old nuts = histamine spike).
Don’t skip scraping. That ball of nut-dough is just the halfway point.
For crunch: Save a few chopped macadamias and stir them in at the end.
Sweet & salty combo? Bump the salt just a smidge.
