2 Tablespoons Organic Almonds

2 Tablespoons Organic Sunflower Seeds

2 Tablespoons Organic Flax Seeds

3 cups Water, filtered (11/2 cups if using Juice)

1/2 cup fresh Apple Juice

1 Banana or 1/2 cup fresh Blueberries or Raspberries

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg

If you have soaked the nuts and seeds overnight, use a small sieve to drain off the water. In a blender or processor with the lid on, process the almonds, sunflower and flax seeds on high, until they are coarsely ground. Pour in filtered water slowly at first, so that the blades reduce the ingredients to a thick consistency. Add the remaining liquid and continue blending. Add apple juice, banana or berries, vanilla extract and nutmeg, and blend until frothy. Pour into a glass and drink immediately.

Tips: If you suffer from fatigue at any time during the day when the demands of work do not permit a siesta break, keep a small container of almonds with you at all times. Even half a dozen almonds will give you that much-needed energy boost. Bananas are pretty good in the same way but almonds are more portable and sometimes eating a banana just isn’t an option.
