purple flamenco smoothie<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 c. pomegranate juice<\/p>\n

1 tbsp. almond butter<\/p>\n

ginger (as much or as little as you can stand)<\/p>\n

1\/2 c. frozen blackberries<\/p>\n

(optional: large handful frozen kale if you want a vegetable.)<\/p>\n

blend together until smooth.\u00c2\u00a0 add more blackberries if too thin, more pomegranate juice if too thick.<\/p>\n

on a side note:\u00c2\u00a0 i’m doing a smoothie workshop at my library this saturday (january 4) at 2:00.\u00c2\u00a0 locals–come on over and have some free samples!\u00c2\u00a0<\/em> still a few copies of my book (paper or digital) available in my etsy shop…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
