Delicious!! I did 1 heaping cup of raspberries and used almond milk instead of buttermilk. I also added a teaspoon of chia seeds. It was still super yummy!

I did not have any honey or almond extract, but it was just fine without.

I shoukd have added a protein booster of chia or flax seeds--I usually do. Thank you for the reminder and suggestion!
I have made this smoothie as directed but I also have switched up the nuts, using either ground pecans or ground walnuts. The buttermilk gives it a wonderful texture and also a sharper taste than regular milk, but I personally cut down the buttermilk to a half a cup and make up the rest of the liquid with ice cubes. The smoothie makes a great breakfast and also a great substitute for any meal. It is filling and satisfying. If you can, use organic berries!
I did not have strawberries, but I did have raspberries. Also, no buttermilk, but I have fat free skim milk. Grounded almonds and did not use honey. The result was heaven. Not your recipe entirely, however, my doctor suggested protein to start the day and the combination of nuts and fruit and dairy seems right. It sure beats store bought protein drinks. It would not have been my choice. Thank you.
