Breakfast Raw Smoothie Recipes

Looking for "new" raw smoothie recipes to have for breakfast or for a nourishing snack?  Normally, raw smoothies are made by using some sort of fruit with other nutritious ingredients.   And bananas seem to be one of the most popular choices when it comes to making raw smoothie recipes.

It's probably because bananas give smoothies a creamy texture, are easy to find, and are also very economical.  However, there is another fruit that can give your raw smoothies that creamy texture without all of the carbs - an avocado. 

And replacing bananas with berries will create a lower carb smoothie as well.

How to Make Raw Almond Milk - with Skinless Almonds

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of Raw Organic Almonds
  • Optional:  Sea Salt & Raw Organic Sweetener

Instructions:

  1. Cover raw almonds with filtered water and soak them overnight (12 hours is better).
  2. Then in the morning drain almonds and put them on a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Roll the towel with the almonds inside and roll towel with a back and forth motion - to loosen up the almond skins.
  4. Unroll the towel and pick out the nuts (without their skin) and continue until all almonds have lost their dark skin.
  5. Transfer nuts to a blender and add some filtered water (a good ratio is 1 cup of almonds to 3 cups of water).
  6. You can also add in a little sea salt and raw sweetener.
  7. Then blend nuts and water to create almond milk.
  8. Strain your almond milk using a cheesecloth, a fine sieve, or put nut milk through a juicer to remove the pulp.

I love that she shows you how to remove the dark skins from the soaked almonds.  This way you can make a really white and creamy almond milk for your raw smoothie recipes. 

And without a lot of the anti-nutrients found in the skin like phytic acid.

Nuts like almonds have a high amount of anti-nutrients which include enzyme inhibitors and oxalic acid.  Some of these can be lessened by soaking almonds in water for several hours.

Also, make sure your almonds are truly raw - a lot of almonds are required by "California" to be pasteurized these days.
