Banana-Noothie


Well, first we had the Smoythie (smoothie that is made with soy as opposed to cow's milk) and now, we have the noothie, a smoothie made with nuts instead of soy or dairy! This is packed with protein, minerals, vitamins and is so delicious!

Please note: you need to use a food processor for Noothies, as trying to grind nuts in a blender can kill it. And, yes I had to kill my new blender (2nd one of the year!) in order to discover this fact.

Banana Noothie:

Ingredients:
1/3 cup macadamia nuts
1/3 cup walnuts
2/3 cup water
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 frozen banana
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp banana extract
1/2 cup almond milk
2 tbsp agave nectar or honey

Directions:
first process walnuts and macadamia nuts until smooth. then add in coconut flour, process again until smooth (don't forget to wipe down sides). add all other ingredients, and process until smooth. Enjoy!
