Blueberry Almond Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp allulose (optional)

Method

1. 1

   Cover the raw almonds with hot water and let them soak for 15 minutes, then drain — this quick hot-water soak softens the almonds enough to break down completely during blending, giving a smooth, creamy texture even in a standard blender instead of leaving gritty almond bits behind.

2. 2

   Add the drained almonds and almond milk to the blender, blending on high until smooth.

3. 3

   Add frozen blueberries, vanilla, and allulose if using.

4. 4

   Blend until completely smooth and thick.

5. 5

   Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
