This smoothie is a meal in itself — yet avoids the protein additives and brewer’s yeast popular in the world of bodybuilding. This recipe uses almond powder and requires ripe, sweet strawberries. (Frozen strawberries will work fine.) Substitute other kinds of nuts or nut flour, or other kinds of fruit, at your discretion.

Delicious!! I did 1 heaping cup of raspberries and used almond milk instead of buttermilk. I also added a teaspoon of chia seeds. It was still super yummy!

I did not have any honey or almond extract, but it was just fine without.

This has become one of my favorite smoothie recipes! Do try it with the buttermilk and almond extract — I think they really add to the unique flavor that I especially love, both tangy and rounded. The strawberries can definitely be substituted. I’ve used frozen pomegranate seeds, cherries, blueberries, and a mix of the above. I like that the half banana doesn’t take over. Refreshing and satisfying. Worth trying!
