Almond Fruit Drink

Almond Fruit Drink

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 naval oranges
    1 slice pineapple
    1 peach peeled
    1 cup frozen berries of your choice (I like a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)
    handful of carrots, optional (can’t taste em, just extra veggies)
    1/4 cup frozen almonds

Directions:

Throw in all ingredients into a blender.  Whir it up and serve. The drink is pretty thick. I like it that way, but if you want to thin it, just add some water. The recipe is so versatile, if you have no oranges, you can throw in just extra pineapple, or a grapefruit or banana, or an extra peach…really anything you have on hand! YUM Smiley
