This Blueberry Almond Smoothie will make you want to start your New Year off right by eating and drinking healthy! This smoothie will do the trick!
I thought for my first post of 2014 I would bring to you a smoothie. I know for me after the holidays, I always feel I need to cut back on my calorie in take. Since October it has been nothing but heavy foods and desserts. So I try to lighten it up a bit. Add more soups, like this red lentil soup and salads to my normal diet and add healthy drinks as well.
Do you know that blueberries and almonds are also good for the heart? So we are killing a whole bunch of birds with this one stone. Meaning, we have something good for our heart, good for our body and good for my taste buds. Well that one I added. The entire family enjoyed this one. It is similar to a peach smoothie I made, but I had to make a few adjustments. After making it 3 times I think I finally got it right for the consistency and taste! Hope you ENJOY it!!

Oh my gosh, I totally know what you mean. I feel like Halloween just got the ball rolling and I’ve been eating everything I see ever since. 🙂 It’s a good thing I run so much.
I am, however back on a clean eating plan and this little recipe would fit right in.
Thanks!
