Almond, Sunflower And Berries Shake
- 2 tablespoons organic almonds
- 2 tablespoons organic sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons organic flax seeds
- 3 cups water, filtered (11/2 cups if using juice)
- 1/2 cup fresh apple juice
- 1 1/2 cup fresh blueberries or 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- If you have soaked the nuts and seeds overnight, use a small sieve to drain off the water.
- In a blender or processor with the lid on, process the almonds, sunflower and flax seeds on high, until they are coarsely ground.
- Pour in filtered water slowly at first, so that the blades reduce the ingredients to a thick consistency.
- Add the remaining liquid and continue blending.
- Add apple juice, banana or berries, vanilla extract and nutmeg, and blend until frothy. Pour into a glass and drink immediately.
- Health Tip: If you suffer from fatigue at any time during the day when the demands of work do not permit a siesta break, keep a small container of almonds with you at all times. Even half a dozen almonds will give you that much-needed energy boost. Bananas are pretty good in the same way but almonds are more portable and sometimes eating a banana just isn't an option!
