Raspberry Almond Smoothie

  Preparation: 5 minutes Servings: 2 large glasses   A lovely pairing of the clean and sweet but sharp raspberry and the buttery subdued flavour of almonds makes this creamy smoothie a delicious treat. The addition of lemon and a flick of raspberry powder brings a refreshing touch of tartness.   Brain Food Note Berries are high in antioxidants that enhance brain function and memory. I’ve added the mood-boosting nutrients of almonds to protect brain cells and help calm the mind.   1 cup frozen raspberries 2 cups almond milk 2 tablespoons almond butter juice of 1/2 lemon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 12 ice cubes 2 dates 1 teaspoon raspberry powder (optional)   Blitz all the ingredients except the raspberry powder in a high-speed blender. Pour into 2 glasses and sprinkle the raspberry powder on top.
