Ingredients
- Celery sticks 3 medium
- Almond butter 1 tablespoon
Method
-
Wash the celery sticks.
Rinse the 3 medium celery sticks thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Tip: Make sure the celery is dry so the almond butter sticks better. -
Trim the celery sticks.
Cut off the leafy tops and the base ends of each celery stick. This will make them easier to hold and eat.
Tip: Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and to avoid crushing the celery. -
Portion the almond butter.
Measure out 1 tablespoon (16 grams) of almond butter using a measuring spoon. If the almond butter is thick, you can warm it slightly by placing the jar in warm water for a few minutes to make spreading easier.
Tip: Avoid microwaving the almond butter directly as it may overheat and change texture. -
Spread almond butter on celery sticks.
Using a butter knife or small spoon, spread the almond butter evenly along the groove of each celery stick. Aim for a thin, even layer to balance flavors and texture.
Tip: If you prefer, you can dip the celery sticks directly into the almond butter instead of spreading.
Pro tips
- For extra crunch, sprinkle a few chopped almonds or seeds on top of the almond butter.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp freshness of the celery.
