Now, that I have mastered making almond butter and nut/seed butter cups in my high powered blender, I can’t stop creating different flavors and recipes in my kitchen. It has almost become an addiction.
One thing I enjoy daily is a nice refreshing smoothie. They are chocked full of vitamins and minerals my body needs and craves regularly. Since I am on an almond butter kick, you can guess where this recipe is going. This is where almond cup smoothie comes into play! Smooth and creamy and refined sugar-free. It is seriously the perfect and most simple smoothie to make. Just throw everything in your bender and voila. That easy.
Do you have a favorite smoothie?

Mmm … my mouth is seriously watering! I adore dates and the combination of almond & date flavors is making my head spin (in a good way). Thanks for sharing … I so want to try this recipe! 🙂
I love dates, too! I put them in everything! Let me know if you try it!
Sound yummy. I tasted some Almond milk in Sams this weekend but I didn’t buy any. Now I want to go back. May I ask approx how many calories you think your recipe is for a serving?
No idea how many calories, but if I was going to guess probably 400. Again that is a big guess! 🙂
You can’t really mess it up. I thought the same thing, but I just let my food processor do the work! Enjoy!
Thanks Claire!! 🙂
I love almonds and they taste so good in everything and anything….well almost! 🙂

I love dates and never thought of adding them to smoothies. Awesome.
One date goes along way…yumm. 🙂
I’ve been making almond milk the hard way, blending & straining, this looks like I fantastic alternative, thanks for sharing!
I hate the straining part – so messy! And you pretty much loose all the protein and that’s why I eat almonds in the first place. Enjoy! 🙂
I love almond milk and have it daily in my smoothie- thanks for sharing this post with us at the Seasonal Celebration link up! Have a great weekend! Rebecca @ Natural Mothers Network x
Almond milk is so tasty in smoothies!
Finally got all the ingredients for this:-). Now to one day make home-made Almond butter and milk!

Let me know how you like it!
We loved it. I think I used a tad too much cocoa powder, and we had coconut water on hand so we used that. But I loved how the dates provided sweetness with no extra sugars. Mine was really dark brown, so I know I need to scale back on the cocoa next time. Really good though and filling:-). T
Awesome. Glad you liked it! I find that the actual almond cups I made are so much better!
Almond milk is very yummy! Try it!
