food as medicine.

The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.

This Energizing Blueberry Almond Smoothie is a delightful blend of flavors and nutrition, making it a perfect choice for a quick breakfast or a rejuvenating snack. So, blend away and let this smoothie revitalize your day!

SERVES 2

1 cup (150g) blueberries, frozen

1 medium bananas, ripe

4 tbsp. rolled oats

2 tbsp. almond butter

2 cups (480ml) almond milk, unsweetened

2 medjool dates

2 scoops (50g) vanilla protein powder


What you need to do:

    1. Prep Your Ingredients: I prefer to gather all the ingredients and have them measured and ready to go.

    1. Soften the Medjool Dates: If the medjool dates are not soft, soak them in warm water for about 10-15 minutes to soften. This will make them blend easily into the smoothie.

    1. Combine in the Blender: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen blueberries, ripe banana, rolled oats, almond butter, unsweetened almond milk, medjool dates (pitted), and vanilla protein powder.

    1. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until all the ingredients are smooth and creamy. If needed, scrape down the sides and blend again to ensure everything is well incorporated.

    1. Adjust Consistency (Optional): If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired texture.

    1. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses, garnish with a few blueberries or a banana slice if you like, and enjoy the goodness of this energizing blueberry almond smoothie!

    1. Variation: Feel free to customize this smoothie by adding spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost, or a tablespoon of chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
