Up until a few years ago we used to use margarine. As we gradually shifted to a more whole food diet this was one of the first things to go. I know there are “healthy spreads” but being the skeptic I am cautious to the fact that most things advertised as “healthy” usually isn’t. My husband’s favorite latest example of this is the new “Super Donut” marketed as a healthy donut. So one thing I know for sure is that butter is butter and it doesn’t have any weird ingredients I can not pronounce and have to research. I also know that Canola oil is low in bad fat and high in good fat, so this has been our butter spread for the last several years.
1 lb butter, softened
1 ½ Cups Canola Oil
Blend two ingredients together with a hand mixer. Refrigerate.
I have had a store bought margarine and spreadable butter type products since becoming accustomed to our butter recipe and I have to say that they do not compare. The margarines taste like spreadable plastic in comparison. You will never go back once you use real butter for a while.
