Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 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 bananas or 1/2 cup fresh blueberries or 1/2 cup raspberries
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Recipe

• 1 if you have soaked the nuts and seeds overnight, use a small sieve to drain off the water.
• 2 in a blender or processor with the lid on, process the almonds, sunflower and flax seeds on high, until they are coarsely ground.
• 3 pour in filtered water slowly at first, so that the blades reduce the ingredients to a thick consistency.
• 4 add the remaining liquid and continue blending.
• 5 add apple juice, banana or berries, vanilla extract and nutmeg, and blend until frothy. pour into a glass and drink immediately.
• 6 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!
