• Walnut, Almond and Hazelnut
• Sesame Oil

Make your own Butter options:

• Avocado butter – cream a ripe avocado and add a touch of sea salt
• Roasted garlic butter – mash roasted cloves with a splash of olive oil
• Fruit butters – puree re-hydrated prunes and dates; or ripe bananas
• Better than butter Balsamic Dip
• Nutritionally Infused Butter – Blend ¼ part nutritional yeast with olive oil
• Olive oil butter – Mix equal parts of olive oil and organic butter (melted)
  Store in the fridge for a healthier version of spread-able butter

Drop Margarine?? Yes! (Even non hydrogenated)

What is it:

Basically it is a mixture of fat with skim milk or milk protein and may include preservatives, color, flavours and jelling agents.

The non-hydrogenated margarines differ from the conventional version with the hydrogenated component replaced by fractionated tropical and or mono-saturated oils combined with polyunsaturated oils.

Whey powder, pectin and gelatin are added to improve consistency.

There is no info on the long term effects of these ‘fake’ fats.
