Kale, Carrot & Flax Fruit Smoothie

Kale, Carrot, and Flax Fruit Smoothie

This is a recipe for a delicious smoothie that anyone can enjoy (no matter how young or young at heart)

• 1 cup homemade almond milk*
• 1 cup water
• 2 medium Kale leaves
• A handful of carrots
• 8 fresh strawberries
• 1 cup frozen berries (blueberry, raspberry, and marionberry)
• 1/4 cranberries
• One half of a banana
• 2 tablespoons freshly ground flax seeds**

*If you don’t want to make the almond milk yourself, you can purchase it from your local health food store. It will not be 100% raw, but it will still be 100% delicious!

**Just in case you don’t have the equipment to ground your own flax seeds, you can also purchase them finely ground at your local health food store.

Mix up in a blender and it makes enough for the whole family (or for you to store in your fridge for the next 2-3 days and have on the go). The smoothie is a muddy orange color with flecks of green from the kale and flecks of red from the cranberries. You can sweeten if needed with agave nectar. Homemade almond milk is used to ensure that this recipe is completely raw but store bought almond milk will work too. Enjoy!
