This omega-powered creamy treat contains walnuts, hemp seeds, chia seeds and flax seeds — four plant-based ingredients that provide plenty of omega-3 fatty acids as well as phytonutrients, fiber, calcium, iron and protein. Enjoy a tablespoon straight out of the jar or as a dip with your favorite fruit, like apples, or veggies, like carrots.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Spread the walnuts out evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast for 10 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Let the walnuts cool just until warm.
Transfer the walnuts to a food processor and blend until smooth. This may take several rounds of blending, stopping and scraping the sides and the walnut blender. It should get creamy smooth after about 4-5 minutes.
Add the date paste, hemp seeds, and salt, if using and blend until smooth once again.
Add the chia seeds and flax seeds and pulse 3-5 times until the seeds are mixed in with the nut butter.
Taste for additional ingredients of choice (more date paste for sweetness or more seeds for crunch).
