Vitamin and Nutrient-Packed Almond Blueberry Smoothie

dana vento
Chug, gulp, sip, chunk?
Nope.
Smoothies are meant to be… well, smooth.
So, you gotta blend these ingredient combinations to get 'smoothies'. 
One of my all-time favorite smoothie recipes is my vitamin and a nutrient-packed almond-blueberry smoothie.
I don't do chunks, in fact, I hate them. 
Done in my blender, this just sings the praises of healthiness in a cup. 
When do I make this?
Well, I use this one to power through housework as a pre-workout beverage.
Something about these smoothies seems to power me up (like a Power Ranger). 
Now, let's get you powered up and loaded with vitamins and nutrients too, with tiny effort and BIG bold taste!

Instructions
 

  • Add ingredients to the blender container.
  • Use the in the order recommended for the type of blender you are using (every blender is different)

    For high-powered blenders, make sure the machine is on the lowest speed setting before you begin.
  • Then, slowly increase the speed to the highest setting. (If your machine has a pre-programmed smoothie option, use that instead).

    For regular blenders, use different speeds and the pulse button to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
  • Blend for 1 - 2 minutes or until the ingredients are completely smooth
  • Sip, Sip, Hooray! ~ Enjoy Dana XO
