Instructions

In a large pan, pour the water and set to medium-high heat

In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (except for the almonds) and stir in the bowl to fully combine them.

As soon as the water starts to boil, add the vanilla extract to the water and lightly stir to evenly distribute it.

Pour the dry ingredient mixture evenly on the pan (think about covering the entire bottom of the pan with a nice layer of the sugar mixture)

DO NOT stir the sugar into the water – leave it how you poured it

Let the water and sugar mixture boil for about 30 seconds, then, pour the almonds in.

Let the almonds sit on the sugar/water mixture for a minute

Begin to lightly stir the almonds and mixture

Continue to stir until the sugar thickens

Once the sugar has a moderately thick consistency, pour the contents of the pan onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spread almonds evenly on baking sheet and let cool – Enjoy!

Blueberry Breakfast Smoothie Recipe

I have been adjusting my recipe for the past month, and I can now confidently say that I have reached the point of smoothie perfection [based on my own tastes and preferences of course].

Now, this smoothie doesn’t just have blueberries. But it is the main ingredient. I also make other smoothies that I will be detailing on other posts to come.

INGREDIENTS

1 CUP OF FROZEN BLUEBERRIES
1/3 CUP OF FROZEN MANGOES
1/3 CUP OF FROZEN PEACHES
3 TBSP OF VANILLA GREEK YOGURT
1 TSP OF ORGANIC MATCHA POWDER [optional]
1 CUP OF SOY MILK [you can also use almond, rice, oat or any kind of milk you prefer]

STEPS

I place all of the fruit inside my blender first and add the milk, yogurt, and matcha then blend. However, depending on the size of your blender, you can start by adding the blueberries only first along with the milk, then blend, and gradually keep adding each of the fruits/ingredients.

Note: If you would like the smoothie sweeter, substitute the soy milk with either almond or rice milk. You could even add a teaspoon of honey, if you like. Additionally, you could just add 2 dates!
