Strawberry/almond Smoothies

4 ounces blanched almonds
2 cups frozen organic strawberries
1 cup unsweetened green tea
1/4 cup raw local honey or agave nectar
4 ounces pasteurized egg whites
1/2 cup organic low fat Greek or regular plain yogurt

In a blender place the almonds and pulse to crush the nuts then add frozen berries and green tea. Pulse to break up the fruit. Add the honey, egg whites and yogurt and blend until a smooth shake-like consistency. Add more green tea or water if the mixtures has trouble blending.

Make vegan by substituting silken soy tofu for yogurt and omitting the egg whites.

Number of Servings: 4
