Blueberry Nut Smoothie
This was the very first smoothie recipe I created! I created it for my husband when he was starting his transition to eating healthy.

I incorporated the perfect ratio's of protein, fiber and fat to nourish and fuel his body all morning long!

Notes
DAIRY FREE MILK
- You can use any dairy free milk that is unsweetened
- To make a smoothie bowl use 1/2 cup of dairy free milk
- To make a drinkable smoothie, use 1 cup of dairy free milk. PURE ALMOND BUTTER
- This is exactly as it sounds, just almonds turned into almond butter!
- It is best to use an almond butter with out added sugar, oils or preservatives
- The only ingredient should be almonds! NUT-FREE OPTION!
- This is for my nut-free friends who want to enjoy my delicious recipes but are allergic to nuts or cant digest them
- Simply substitute the almond butter for your favorite seed butter. I recommend pure pumpkin seed butter, it tastes delicious in this recipe! OPTIONAL SWEETNESS
- I don't add any real maple syrup because I find it sweet enough without it!
- I suggest trying the smoothie unsweetened with a spoon out of your blender and see if you like it! If it needs more sweetness then you can simple add it in and blend it! NATURAL PUMPKIN SEEDS
- This is exactly as it sounds, just pumpkin seeds!
- Check the ingredient list of your pumpkin seeds, the only ingredient should be pumpkin seeds. It should contain no sugar, oils, nitrates, or other preservatives!
