Raw Food: Almond-Based Berry Smoothie image

I saw this recipe on a raw food lecture video. Although, I don't follow the raw food diet, I like some of the recipes. This one is good because it's dairy-free and sugar-free. I've also used kiwi in place of the berries with good results. (Prep. time doesn't includ soaking time.)

Time 7m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup almonds, soaked in water overnight
2 bananas
2 dates, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup blueberries or 1/2 cup strawberry, frozen is fine
1/2 cup water, to preferred consistency

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse almonds.
  • Put all ingredients in a blender. I put them in in order, and I never have a problem with the dates getting stuck in the bottom.
  • Pulse until the chunks are broken up. Then blend until smooth.
  • Makes 2 servings. I eat one serving, and save the other for the following day. The banana will cause some discoloration in the saved serving, but the taste is still good.
