     1 c  Orange juice; freshly


          -squeezed


   1/2    Ripe banana


     2 ts Raw unsalted almond butter


   1/4 c  Chopped pitted dates


   1/4 ts Pure vanilla extract


   1/4 ts Pure almond extract


     2    Ice cubes; (up to 3)


     1 tb Raw bran; (optional)






 Alive with enzymes, this super drink combines high-energy and protein.


 Great for weight-gain programs, too. You can cut some calories and carbs by


 ommitting the dates.


 


 Whir everything in a blender at high speed for about 30 seconds.


 


 Per shake: 513 calories; 12 g protein, 17 g fat, 78 g carbohydrate


 


 Nuts to you: Raw nuts (or seeds) and raw nut butters, available in


 health-food stores, are an excellent way to get a spectrum of vitamins,


 minerals, protein and the hard-to-get essential fatty acids in their


 natural state. If that precious oil forms at the top of the nut butter,


 don't pour it off. Stir it back in with a butter knife. Keep refrigerated.
