Ingredients for Almond Shake Paleo And Gluten Free

  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Plain Yogurt
  • Slivered Almonds
  • Ground Cardamom
  • Ground Fennel
  • Ground Star Anise

How to Make Almond Shake Paleo And Gluten Free

  1. Combine 1 cup ice, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup full-fat coconut yogurt, ¼ cup slivered almonds, ½ teaspoon cardamom powder, ¼ teaspoon fennel seeds, and 1 star anise in a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add a splash more almond milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired. A ripe banana (about ½) or 1 tablespoon of honey can be added for extra sweetness.
  4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately! Garnish with extra slivered almonds or a sprinkle of cardamom if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
