Strawberry-Almond Shake

If the thick texture of a smoothie isn’t to your liking, this blended drink has a smooth, frothy texture similar to that of a milk shake. Vary the fruit and add ingredients like wheat germ and bran to give the shake more fibre.

Ingredients 

1 cup frozen unsweetened strawberries

1 cup Hemp & Co hemp milk 

2 tablespoons sliced almonds

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

3 ice cubes

Dash of vanilla extract

2 fresh strawberries (optional)

Method 

1. Place the frozen strawberries, hemp milk, almonds, flaxseed, orange zest, ice cubes, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until smooth.

2. Pour into two glasses. Garnish each with a fresh strawberry, if desired.
