This nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory smoothie can help protect your arteries and support healthy blood pressure, thanks to magnesium-rich soaked almonds and antioxidant-rich fruit that calm inflammation and support healthy circulation. Almonds are a rich source of magnesium—½ cup provides nearly 200 milligrams. Soaking almonds improves mineral bioavailability and digestibility. Magnesium helps blood vessels relax, improving circulation and oxygen delivery, while also supporting heart rhythm, calming the nervous system, and balancing muscle contraction throughout the body.
Place the raw almonds into a bowl and cover them with filtered water. Let them soak, uncovered, on your counter for about 8 to 12 hours. Then rinse and drain before using them.
