Almond Sunflower And Berries Shake

Being an excellent source of protein, the nuts and seeds in this shake make it a nourishing breakfast that will help you re-charge so that you are ready to meet the demands of the day ahead. soaking the nuts and seeds overnight increases their digestibility and therefore the healthfulness of this shake. just drain off the water the nuts have soaked in overnight before making your shake with clean water and the other ingredients. this shake will obviously be more nutritious if you use organic nuts, seeds and fruits. adapted from a recipe on dr joseph mercola’s website, together advice from my naturopath.

Steps

If you have soaked the nuts and seeds overnight , use a small sieve to drain off the water.
In a blender or processor with the lid on , process the almonds , sunflower and flax seeds on high , until they are coarsely ground.
Pour in filtered water slowly at first , so that the blades reduce the ingredients to a thick consistency.
Add the remaining liquid and continue blending.
Add apple juice , banana or berries , vanilla extract and nutmeg , and blend until frothy.
Pour into a glass and drink immediately.
Health.
Even half a dozen almonds will give you that much-needed energy boost.
Bananas are pretty good in the same way but almonds are more portable and sometimes eating a banana just isnt an option !.
