Your first step is to pick your nut...
Almonds are high in magnesium, vitamin E and fiber.
Walnuts are a good source of Omega 3s and may improve brain function.
Peanuts are a good source of magnesium and vitamin E
Cashews are high in magnesium, reduce blood pressure, and have antioxidant properties.
Next... Add your dry roasted or raw, unsalted nuts to a food processor. Pictured: Ninja BL770 Mega Kitchen System, 1500W
Pulse for 10 second increments and scrape sides occasionally. This process may take 5-10 minutes.

Almost there... just blend until smooth.
