Very Berry Smoothie

BASIC INGREDIENTS

½ - 1 cup unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (depending on thickness*) (*you can substitute other types of milk or milk alternatives based on your preference. I avoid using milk in smoothies which has lactose, a form of sugar.)

1-2 scoops of Vanilla Protein Powder ( such as Whey Protein Powder)

2 teaspoons of almond butter

½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries (If frozen I wild blueberries)

½ tsp cinnamon     

4-6 Ice cubes (as desired, the more ice-cubes, the thicker the smoothie)

DIRECTIONS:

• Pour the Almond Milk into a blender.

• Add the remaining ingredients

• Mix the ingredients in the blender until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

(TIPS/OPTIONAL)

• If you like your smoothie thinner, use more Almond Milk

• If you like a thicker smoothie, use less liquid and/or add ½ cup Greek yogurt

• If you like your smoothie to have a sweeter taste, add a small amount of sweetener of choice

• Want more antioxidants? Add some frozen Acai Berry Puree (Sambazon makes an organic, unsweetened puree) Or add 1 1/2 tablespoons ground flax seed or chia seeds
