Almond Date Shake Recipe

• 1 c. Orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 1/2 x Ripe banana
• 2 tsp Raw unsalted almond butter
• 1/4 c. Minced pitted dates
• 1/4 tsp Pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp Pure almond extract
• 2 x Ice cubes, (up to 3)
• 1 Tbsp. Raw bran, (optional)

1. Alive with enzymes, this super drink combines high-energy and protein.
2. Great for weight-gain programs, too.
3. You can cut some calories and carbs by ommitting the dates.
4. Whir everything in a blender at high speed for about 30 seconds.
5. Nuts to you: Raw nuts (or possibly seeds) and raw nut butters, available in health-food stores, are an excellent way to get a spectrum of vitamins, minerals, protein and the hard-to-get essential fatty acids in their natural state.
6. If which precious oil forms at the top of the nut butter, do not pour it off.
7. Stir it back in with a butter knife.
8. Keep refrigerated.
