   Grind the almonds in a blender with the water for 2–3 minutes, until smooth.

   Blender

   💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
5. 5
   Strain through cheesecloth set over a bowl, and squeeze well.

   💡Squeeze the cloth well to get out as much liquid as possible; the milk separates as it stands, so shake it before using.
6. 6
   Put the fruit, banana, almond milk and honey in the blender.

   💡A smoothie separates and browns after a short while: drink it right after blending.
