Blueberry and Almond "Milk" Smoothie

Ingredients for Almond Milk(you can use hazelnuts,cashews,or other nuts/seeds too)

1 cup raw almonds
4 cups filtered water
2-3 dates (optional)
1/4 to half a vanilla beans seeds(optional)

Soak the 1 cup almonds (and dates and vanilla beans if using) with 1 and 1/2 cup of the water(just covering) in the fridge overnight(or if you forgot to soak overnight "the speedy method" - soak for 1/2 an hour using 1 cup boiling water from a tea kettle)

When the almonds have been soaked, place them in the blender and liquify. Add water, as necessary, to get the water and almonds into a "milk". Add the rest of the water STIR with a spoon (Do not turn on the blender when the blender jar is full! It will be a mess!)and let stand for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve or a piece of cheesecloth.
