breakfast smoothie

Serves 2. Share with someone or freeze the second serving and thaw when you are ready to eat it.  

Ingredients:

1/4 cup walnuts or other nut (pecans, pistachio, almond, cashew are all good) or 2 Tbsp raw sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
1 frozen banana (buy a bunch of bananas, when they are ripe with brown spots, peel, break into pieces, put each banana into a separate plastic bag and freeze)
1 bag frozen berries (8-10 oz), or combine half bags of different berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mixed berries)
14-16 oz water, or mixture of water and/or berry juice and/or soy milk.   Housemate likes all berry juice

Blend nuts in some of the juice (throw in your vitamins if you don't like taking pills) in a high-powered blender until smooth.   Add the frozen banana and berries. Blend until smooth. YUM!
