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?

This smoothie looks so delicious and creamy!
Thank you so much!
This looks incredibly tasty! And your almond butter looks great too!
Keep up the yummy recipes!
The almond butter is so tasty! I like it better than store bought!
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! 🙂
So simple and easy to make!
Exactly! 🙂

I will! 🙂
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 dates and never thought of adding them to smoothies. Awesome.
One date goes along way…yumm. 🙂
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!
