Strawberry Rose Smoothie

via

One of my favorite bases for smoothies is raw almond milk. Not only is it high in calcium, but in Ayurveda tradition almond milk is used to calm the mind and sharpen memory. It’s easy to make with a little foresight. Simply soak 1 cup almonds in 4 cups water overnight. Strain and pour nuts into a food processor or blender. Cover again with fresh water. Blend and strain out the pulp through a nut-milk bag or cheesecloth.

Now, combine your almond milk with refreshing, invigorating ingredients such as strawberries and rose petals!
