Raw Almond Milk Smoothie

Start your morning off with a glass of this filling, refreshing and delicious smoothie. Remember – breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup almonds
1 1/4 cups water
1 banana (frozen)
1/2 cup strawberries
1/4 cup frozen blueberries, unthawed
1/4 cup frozen blackberries, unthawed
1/4 cup frozen raspberries, unthawed
1/4 cup frozen peaches, unthawed
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey

Directions:

Make the almond milk first. Soak the 1/4 cup of almonds in water overnight, enough to cover them completely. Drain and rinse in the morning. Put them in a Vita-mix or blender (they’ll have expanded while soaking and that’s ok) with 1 and 1/4 cups of water and run it on high until smooth. Strain.

Then just toss the almond milk with the rest of the ingredients in a Vita-mix and blend on high for 30 seconds using the tamper if it won’t run smooth. Or, use a blender which will take a bit longer but will work just as well as long as you stop it and press down anything that gets stuck and then run it again.
