Almond Peach Smoothie

Generally the blender I have does a fine job for my smoothies. Today, I wish I had a Vita-mix.  This smoothie had a good taste, but the flecks of almond were a bit to chunky for me.  I don't believe I will be getting a Vita-mix anytime soon, so I would have to find a different way to puree my almonds.  Maybe in my handheld blender or the milling blade on my Baby Bullet....hmmm.

On a plus side, I just got my boxes of peaches and pear from our fruit order!!! Can't wait to use this fresh fruit in my smoothies.  Any suggestions out there for a good peach or pear smoothie?

Almond Peach Smoothie

1/2 C raw whole almonds

1/2 C almond milk

Heat up the almonds and almond milk (microwave or stove) to help soften the almonds.

In the blender add the almond / milk 

1 Banana

Blend on high to puree the almonds

1/2 fresh peach ( I left the skin on, more fiber. And since I already knew if was going to be chunky the skin wasn't going to make a difference.)

1 T ground flax seed

1 T wheat germ

1 T Hemp Seed

2 T raw quick oats

enough almond milk to make 4 cups
