Could you do this in Magic Bullet?
Absolutely 🤗🤗🤗
Would the recipe still work without the nuts? My husband is allergic to tree nuts.
Is he allergic to all nuts or just tree nuts?
He can eat peanuts so just tree nuts.
Ok! You could add a few peanuts , or maybe even some nutritional yeast if you have it ☺️
