It's simple to make raw nut butter.  Nuts are high in fiber, phyto-nutrients, antioxidants and are great source of vitamins, such as vitamins E, B-complex, and minerals.
I use a variety of nuts such as walnuts which are high in omega 3 fatty acids; brazil nuts a great source of selenium; cashews which contain zea-xanthin an important antioxidant that protects the eyes against UV rays; pecans  which also contains zea-xanthin as well as ellagic acid which protects the body from cancer and almonds which are the most nutitious, high protein nut available.
Simply put the desired amount of mixed nuts of choice in a blender adding just enough omega 3 rich walnut oil to form a butter. Allow the blender to run a few seconds, then turn it off to stir the mixture before giving it another whirl. A pinch of Utah Red or Himalayan salt adds more minerals. It tastes really good and is really good for you. You don't need to waste money on supplements when you eat high quality, nutrient dense foods. Our bodies were made to get what they need from live food, not hard to digest tablets and pills that do not contain the full-spectrum of substances that make them bio-available.

For easier blender cleanup and to prevent waste, you can use what is left in your blender to make a nice nut milk.  All you do is add a cup or two of water and some honey then proceeding to make your smoothie. 
You can add or subtract any nut that you like according to preference.
