DATE SMOOTHIE WITH BROWN RICE AND ALMOND MILK
This is inspired by Bryant Terry's recipe for date-sweetened almond milk, which I came across in his wonderful cookbook "Afro-Vegan." You could use commercial almond milk, but it will taste much richer if you make your own. Blanch and skin almonds (it goes quickly), soak overnight, blend and strain. The smoothie is a simple one, subtly sweetened by the dates, and mildly nutty. If you want to introduce another flavor into the mix add a half banana. I liked it both ways but I think I prefer the simpler version, so I have made the banana optional.
