Banana Pomegranate Smoothie with Almonds
Creamy and thick with a nutty, oaty body, banana sweetness and a light tart pomegranate note.
Whole nuts make a smoothie more filling: they bring protein, fibre and mostly unsaturated fats, plus a toasty, nutty depth. A strong blender turns them almost completely smooth, especially if they are soaked first. Oats add complex carbohydrates and thicken the drink, the banana gives natural sweetness, and pomegranate seeds bring a tart, fruity note and a pink tint. Almond milk ties it all together. It is a good choice for busy mornings or before a long day, when a light fruit smoothie would not last until lunch.

Yes, one tablespoon of almond butter replaces the whole almonds and blends smoother.
