Almond smoothie

Method

1. Drain and rinse the almonds. Put them in the blender and add a little water. Blend to make a smooth paste.

2. Add the remaining water bit by bit and blend until you have a rich almond milk. If it's too thick then just add more water - you're aiming for something with the consistency of its dairy counterpart.

3. Add the linseeds and fruit and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.

Cook's Notes: Try swapping the almonds for cashew nuts for a creamy cashew nut milk smoothie.
If nuts aren't your thing, simply use natural live yogurt in place of the almonds
