You can also use almonds as an ingredient of a breakfast smoothie. Soak almonds overnight and make a smoothie by adding some berries or fruits and some water and blending this all with a blender. This is probably one of the healthiest ways to use almonds. Delicious too. Soaking helps in the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
