Raspberry Almond Vanilla Shake

How can a healthy plant based life style be boring when you can have such a colorful shake for breakfast? Recipes like this raspberry almond vanilla shake are a guarantee for an amazing new day full of energy and a smooth digestion.

Raspberry Almond Vanilla ShakeI think in this case, a picture says more than 1000 words, but let me try to explain to you how this amazing layered raspberry almond vanilla shake tastes. Delicious layers of almond butter jelly kind of thickness with a cold banana ice cream/soft serve that will remind you of a thick vanilla milkshake with a subtle taste of juicy raspberries. No matter how you layer or present this, this recipe can’t go wrong.

You could easily make your own almond butter yourself. I think nut butters are especially delicious for breakfast bowls or smoothies. A while ago I received some emails asking where to buy a good jar of almond butter. To be honest, I make a lot of almond butter myself, because it has the best taste than any store bought. So just let me know if you want me to write a recipe about how I make my own almond butter. It’s such a huge difference to the store bought almond butter and it tastes so much better! Plus, you can decide yourself what goes in the butter. No unnecessary preservatives, oils or refined sugars.

I normally use Medjool dates or maple syrup to sweeten my recipes. But recently I’m into coconut blossom sugar again. Of course, you can use whatever you like or even leave it out.

This raspberry almond vanilla shake is delicious and a recent favorite. Please let me know if you love it as much as I do 🙂
