I am so excited to bring to you today this smoothie! When my friend Cate from Chez Catey Lou asked if I wanted to join her and a couple of other bloggers in giving away this book Almonds: Recipes, History, Culture I said of course! So Cate sent over a list of recipes and of course I had to pick the smoothie. It was just perfect for our family. We love to whip them up at breakfast time or for their afternoon snacks.

The recipe was super easy. I just had to make sure I placed my bananas in the freezer ahead of time so they would be nice and frozen when it was time to actually make the smoothie. It was creamy and full of almond flavor! I can’t wait to try other recipes from this cookbook about Almonds! Don’t forget to enter to win a copy of this fabulous book!!I
