Notes

When it comes to managing your daily methionine intake, apples aren't really a big concern as they contain such low levels. This recipe is great as combining apples and macadamias is a great way to keep your methionine intake low but daily calorie intake adequate.

It's important to try and use activated and organic nuts in recipes whenever possible. The recipe we are providing yields 250 grams of nut butter, but we have based the methionine and calorie calculations on a 50-gram serving. Macadamia nuts are the best choice of nut for those who are keeping an eye on their methionine intake, and they also happen to be filling and highly nutritious.

Incorporating these nuts into your diet can add some much-needed calories, which are especially important for those following a low-methionine diet. Macadamia nuts are also low on the glycemic index, meaning they release energy slowly and help to slow down the sugar release from the apple.
