I saw this recipe on a raw food lecture video. Although, I don't follow the raw food diet, I like some of the recipes. This one is good because it's dairy-free and sugar-free. I've also used kiwi in place of the berries with good results. (Prep. time doesn't includ soaking time.) Ingredients:
1/2 cup almonds, soaked in water overnight |
2 bananas |
2 dates, pitted and chopped |
1/2 cup blueberries or 1/2 cup strawberry, frozen is fine |
1/2 cup water, to preferred consistency |
Directions:
1. Drain and rinse almonds.
2. Put all ingredients in a blender. I put them in in order, and I never have a problem with the dates getting stuck in the bottom.
3. Pulse until the chunks are broken up. Then blend until smooth.
4. Makes 2 servings. I eat one serving, and save the other for the following day. The banana will cause some discoloration in the saved serving, but the taste is still good.
