Best. Shake. Ever.

This entry is brought to you by the power of fruit, juiced. No additives.

So I've become obsessed with morning shakes. For starters, I am not a morning person. Correction: I am not a morning person and I do not eat breakfast. Or rather, I did not.. I am now.

My morning routine is coming together, food-wise (I still have to convince myself on a molecular level that morning cardio is fun).

Half an organic lemon. Squeeze into glass. Add warm water. Drink.

Then, three large, full kale leaves. Wash and stick in blender.
Add 2 tablespoons of nut butter (peanut, almond, whatever you prefer).
1 scoop of +Brendan Brazier 's Vega One Natural.
1 cup of fresh, home-made almond juice (recipe below)
3-5 pieces of frozen organic banana pieces
3-4 large ice cubes

Purify with blender (that's a cross between Liquify and Puree)

The best part of this twist on +Drew Manning's Spinach Protein Shake, featured on BlendedRecipes.com was the fresh almond juice. What a difference from the usual brand name stuff.

Easily made:
Rinse then soak 1 cup of raw almost overnight in a sealed container.
Drain. Add to blender.
Add 2 cups of fresh, clean water.
Pinch of sea salt.
Blend. (Or, as I call it, "Purify")
Strain.
Bottle.
Refridgerate.

My latest purchase, and so far my favorite, is a simple case of mason jars from a local grocery. Filled nearly to the top to reduce the amount of air, they even keep fresh juiced orange juice very nicely... zero noticeable oxidization. Perfect for storing the almond milk.
