Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 0.5 cup spinach leaves
- 1 large medjool date (pitted)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
1. Soak the raw almonds in filtered water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften them. Drain and rinse the almonds before use.
2. Add the soaked almonds and 1 cup of fresh filtered water to a blender. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth to create almond milk.
3. Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding the almond pulp. Pour the almond milk back into the blender.
4. Add the frozen mixed berries, ripe banana, spinach leaves, pitted medjool date, vanilla extract, and ice cubes to the blender with the almond milk.
5. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the smoothie is thick, creamy, and completely smooth.
6. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness, if needed, by adding another medjool date. Blend again briefly if adjustments are made.
7. Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy your raw, vegan almond-based berry smoothie!
