Almond Date Shake

Home | Recipes | A
Beverages Fruits Low-fat/cal

Ingredients:

NORMA WRENN
  • 1 c Orange juice; freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 Ripe banana
  • 2 ts Raw unsalted almond butter
  • 1/4 c Chopped pitted dates
  • 1/4 ts Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 ts Pure almond extract
  • 2 Ice cubes; (up to 3)
  • 1 tb Raw bran; (optional)

Directions:

Alive with enzymes, this super drink combines high-energy and protein. Great for weight-gain programs, too. You can cut some calories and carbs by ommitting the dates.
 
Whir everything in a blender at high speed for about 30 seconds.
 
Per shake: 513 calories; 12 g protein, 17 g fat, 78 g carbohydrate
 
Nuts to you: Raw nuts (or seeds) and raw nut butters, available in health-food stores, are an excellent way to get a spectrum of vitamins, minerals, protein and the hard-to-get essential fatty acids in their natural state. If that precious oil forms at the top of the nut butter, don't pour it off. Stir it back in with a butter knife. Keep refrigerated.
