This indulgent, yet healthy snack is great just about anytime.  Toss in that leftover bit of salad mix that's starting to wilt (you'll never taste it, but benefit from the nutrition and clean out the fridge at the same time)

4 cups organic almond milk (I like the Pacific brand)
1 bag frozen organic strawberries
1 organic banana
1 handful organic baby carrots
Optional: 1 scoop Metagenics Ultrameal Vanilla - makes it taste "malty"
Optional: Any small quantity of veggies in the fridge you want to finish off

1. Place all ingredients in your blender (preferrably VitaMix or equivalent)
2. You may want to add a little water to facilitate the blending process
3. Secure lid and tamper, select variable speed #1, turn on, quickly increase speed to #10, then to high
4. Use tamper to push all ingredients down to the blade
5. Run for about 20-30 seconds until smooth

This tasty, healthy snack is great just about anywhere, anytime.  Add hemp or almond milk (warm or cold) to eat as hot or cold cereal.
