I emailed the company Blue Diamond Almonds for some samples of their Almond Breeze milk a few weeks ago after seeing a competition on the Foodies 100 website. I never received a reply, though to my surprise two 1 litre cartons of their unsweetened product landed on my doorstep on Friday afternoon!!

| 1 Litre cartons of Almond Breeze Unsweetened milk by Blue Diamond Almonds. |
"Almond Breeze® almond milk is a delicious alternative that's dairy free, lactose free and soya free. It's made from the finest Californian almonds, so not only is it a great tasting alternative to diary milk and non dairy milk alternatives, but it's packed with all the natural goodness of those amazing almonds.
It's a source of calcium and is low in saturated fat (Yes, really.) Our Unsweetened almond milk is free of sugars and has less than half the calories of skimmed dairy milk and half the calories of soya milk, which makes it a great alternative for those wanting to live a healthier lifestyle. It's just so full of goodness it's a wonder we fit it in the carton."
This is a wonderful milk alternative for people who are lactose intolerant and are vegetarians or vegans.
It contains no eggs, dairy products, peanuts or soya, as well as being gluten free!!
Almond Breeze can be used just like normal milk, in your hot drinks, on your cereal and made in to smoothies, just like I have for this post ...on to the recipe....
What you will need:
Hand blender
A Glass
Ingredients:
250ml Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk
A Handful of Frozen Summer Fruits
Ice
Plain Yoghurt
Simply add your frozen summer fruits, ice, yoghurt (to give it more of a thicker, smoothie like consistency) and 250mls of Almond breeze (this is for one serving)....then, blend and VOILA! in 60 seconds you have a lovely breakfast smoothie!

...And I know what your thinking, BORING! The idea of this simple and fast recipe is, its cheap and fast to make of a morning! Especially for those on the go city slickers or Mums who need to get their children ready for the school run, while getting one of your five a day instantly! Why not put it in a shake bottle to go?!
A great idea for people who, like myself, don't have time for breakfast or simply would rather stay in bed for those extra ten minutes .....After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!!!
