Very Berry Smoothie

Very Berry Smoothie

A smoothie with almond milk has been something I have enjoyed making for myself and my family mainly because my kids have approved of it.  Any healthy food that my kids approve of is something I jump on just cause who knows when their taste buds will change again and things will need to change again in the kitchen. While I totally love the taste of homemade almond milk which is easy and quick to make, I struggle the most with the leftover pulp.  One cup of almonds when turned into almond milk always left me with at least 1 cup of pulp. With a busy schedule to deal with, I have been unsuccessful in converting the pulp into something that can be loved by everyone at home.  If you are like me you know how bad/guilty it feels to throw out good healthy food.

Sometimes these same not so good feelings help us find some really good alternatives and that is exactly what came about from the guilt of throwing out pulp!  All I had to do was to make the smoothies with the almond milk without doubling the effort of making the milk and then adding it to smoothies. I also didn’t want to be throwing out any pulp but at the same time make sure my children continue to enjoy drinking smoothies.

So after a few trials and approval from my kids here I am sharing a tried, tested and a fool proof recipe of my Very Berry smoothie. And yes there will be no PULP left over and once again approved by kids.
