A beautiful Spring day in the South calls for a not-so-average breakfast. A nutrient-dense delicious smoothie that can keep you running all day, not to mention full and satisfied. This has been my breakfast for the last week while traveling. With variations along the way to keep my taste buds stimulated, I can see a addiction on the way. Not bad for a habit!
Another snack that is a staple here is soaked almonds. Just soak raw organic almonds in filtered water in the fridge for at least four hours, then peel and enjoy. They’re pretty close to fresh almonds – my absolute favorite kind of almond (dipped in salt). If you live close to a mediterranean market, you will find this middle easter delight in the Spring time. When I lived in L.A., I found it all over Persian/Mediterranean markets. A must try if you haven’t already.

Hello Anita, It is great. I checked for other shakes recipes but could not. Am I missing something?
I am trying to change my kids preference and I know u do a lot of shakes so please post some more. It is really an impressive work and I should have stayed in Raleigh.
I made the shake to my family and loved it.
Take care and thanks …
