YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: Almond Smoothie

Like many great discoveries, this one was an accident.  And, boy, was I happy to have made it. This is one of the best smoothies I’ve tasted.  You can use cocoa powder instead of the carob powder if you choose, but don’t substitute “hot cocoa mix.”

2 heaping tablespoons almond butter
2 tablespoons carob powder
1 large banana, the more ripe the better
1/2 cup water
approx. 12 ice cubes
Toss everything into the Vitamix, and blend for 30-45 seconds.
