Serves: 1
Prep Time: 5 minutes
 
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups almond milk ( I make my own - see below)

2 leaves kale, Swiss chard, or handful of spinach
¼ avocado
½ cup frozen mango chunks
 
Preparation:
Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Blend together until smooth.

Homemade Almond Milk ​Ingredients:
​Makes 4 cups
  • 1 cup raw almonds, soaked overnight
  • 3 cups filtered water
  • 2 medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Preparation:
  1. Strain the water from the almonds then place them with the other ingredients into a high speed blender. I use the Vitamix.
  2. After blending, you will see a delicious milk, but you are not finished. You must strain this milk into a pitcher using a Nut Milk Bag (can be found at Whole Foods).
  3. Once strained the bag will be full of almond meal, which you can use in another recipe if you wish or you can discard. I usually strain twice to make sure that there is no almond meal left in the milk. Otherwise, it can be gritty. I know this from personal experience...OMG!
  4. It keeps in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Use it in smoothies, oatmeal, coffee, or anything else in place of milk.
