Most people in the U.S celebrate Thanksgiving with massive amounts of heavy, trytophan-laden coma inducing foods.  It’s all good though…if it takes comfort foods to bring families together, I am all for it.

Instead of the normal turkey sandwiches and such that are a common use of the leftovers, here is a great little recipe I created for the most amazing Thanksgiving smoothie.

Use your Vita-Mix or high powered blender.

Ingredients

• Ice
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 2 tablespoons (a nice hunk) of organic peanut butter
• 2 scoops milled flax (optional)
• 1 organic banana
• 1 cup cranberries (they must be cooked, the whole ones are best)
• 1/2 cup wild organic blueberries
• Almond milk – enough to make smooth

Add all the ingredients and about a cup of almond milk to start.  Begin mixing.  As the ingredients start to blend, add more almond milk under the smoothie is to your desire consistency.

Enjoy.
