Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoon raw almonds
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 cup strawberries (frozen)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 serving homemade protein powder (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Equipment

  • blender

Method
 

Gather and Prepare
  1. Ensure all your ingredients are measured out and ready. If you're using whole raw almonds, consider soaking them for a few hours or overnight in water, then draining. This can aid in digestibility and lead to an even silkier smoothie texture.
Blend Until Smooth
  1. First, add the liquid ingredient: your almond milk. Next, add your softer ingredients: the banana, frozen strawberries, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon, and that crucial pinch of sea salt. Finally, add your harder ingredients: the raw almonds and optional protein powder.
  2. Start your blender on a low speed to incorporate everything, then gradually increase to high. Blend until all ingredients are completely smooth and creamy, with no visible bits of almond remaining.
  3. For the smoothest texture, especially with raw almonds, a high-speed blender is recommended, but a good regular blender will work; just be patient and blend for a little longer, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything gets incorporated.
Pour and Enjoy
  1. Once your smoothie has reached that velvety smooth consistency, pour it immediately into your favorite glass.
  2. Enjoy its refreshing, nutty goodness right away for the best taste and temperature!

Notes

Enjoy immediately for best taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours or frozen for longer. Adjust sweetness and consistency to your preference.
