NORTH AMERICAN: Raspberries 'n' Dream

This smoothie recipe is from an Organic Valley flyer I picked up when I was working at Apple Valley. Double this recipe, and we had three happy girls in this soulful city last week.

2 cups milk of choice
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup raw flax seeds (or hemp seed protein)
1/3 cup raw almonds (or almond butter)
1 tsp honey, optional
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup raspberries, frozen
1 large banana, frozen


1. Whirl milk and orange juice in the blender, add flax seeds and puree for three minutes.
2. Add almonds, honey (optional), and vanilla extract; blend for another three minutes.
3. Add frozen banana and raspberries and blend until smooth.
