Recipe steps
Prepare the almond milk (optional)
If you’re making your own almond milk: soak 1 cup of raw almonds overnight. Drain and blend with 3 cups of water in a high-speed blender. Add raw agave or a few medjool dates to sweeten. Flavor with vanilla if desired. Strain the mixture.
Prepare the ingredients
Peel the orange and banana. Wash the zucchini (keep the skin) and cut it into pieces. Wash the spinach.
Blend all ingredients
In a high-speed blender, add the carrots, banana, zucchini pieces, almond milk, raw macadamia nuts, peeled orange, spinach, frozen honeydew melon, dates, flax oil, spirulina, and 1/4 cup of ice cubes to start.
Adjust the texture
Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more ice cubes if you prefer a thicker texture.
Serve immediately
Pour into glasses and serve immediately to enjoy all the nutrients.
Tips and variations
- For a sweeter version, add an extra date or a little raw agave syrup.
- You can replace macadamia nuts with cashews or almonds to vary the flavors.
Anti-waste tips
Carrot tops can be used in pestos, soups, or green smoothies for additional nutritional benefits.
Save date pits to grow a date palm tree or use them as a natural exfoliant once dried and ground.
