This smoothie is a meal in itself — yet avoids the protein additives and brewer’s yeast popular in the world of bodybuilding. This recipe uses almond powder and requires ripe, sweet strawberries. (Frozen strawberries will work fine.) Substitute other kinds of nuts or nut flour, or other kinds of fruit, at your discretion.

- 1 heaped cup (7 ounces / 200 grams) quartered hulled strawberries
- 1 tablespoon almond powder (also known as almond flour) or finely ground almonds (6 1/2 grams)
- 1 drop almond extract
- ½ ripe banana

- 1 teaspoon honey
