Nectarine and Raspberry Smoothie

Total time: 10 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients:
1/2 cup hemp seeds (or almonds or cashews)
2 cups water
4 nectarines, pitted (this should make 1 cup total)
1 cup raspberries
1/2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 cup ice 

Action:
1. In a powerful blender like the VITAMIX blend the water and hemp seeds for one minute, until completely smooth and no lumpy hemp seeds. This is the 'milk' base.
