Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1/3 cup almonds raw
- 1 romaine lettuce roughly chopped, heart
- 2 cups spinach fresh leaves
- 2 kale leaves , stems removed
- 4 Medjool dates , pitted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free, if desired)
- 3-4 ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender, and blend until completely smooth. (The ice helps keep the ingredients cold.) Pour the mixture into a nut milk bag and strain into a large bowl, gently squeezing all of the liquid out of the bag. Discard the pulp or save for another use. (Perhaps it could be used for a grain-free cracker?)
- Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- *For best digestion, soak raw almonds for 8-12 hours in the fridge, then drain and rinse well. I don't always do this myself, if I'm in a hurry, but they do taste better this way and blend easier, too.
