Straw-Melon Creamy Shake

Servings:
2 large glazes, or 4 medium glazesThis is a creamy, not icy, shake. It is sweet, yet not tooooo sweet. It is an energy and sugar (of the good sugars, of course) boost.
Ingredients:
1 pint distilled cold water
½ cup white raw almonds
6 medjool dates,
pitted
1½ cup frozen strawberries
½ cup unsweetened, schredded coconut
1 pealed ripe nectarine
Preparation:
1. Pour water and while almonds in the blender and blend for about 3-5 minutes until the almond pieces are completely disolved.
2. Add pitted dates and blend until the date pieces are mostly dissolved.
3. Add frozen strawberries and pulse on ice crush. Let it run until the strawberries are crushed.
Note: I do not have a Vitamix, so I do not know if it can blend frozen fruits. I have a powerful blende with ice crusher functionality which I use to crush the frozen fruits before blending.
4. Add frozen galia melon and pulse on ice crush. Let it run until the melon pieces are crushed.
5. Blend for a couple of minutes.
6. Pour into 4 medium glazes or 2 large glazes, leaving some room in the glazes for the topping.
7. Top the shakes with schredded coconut.
8. Slide the nectarine lengthwise and place it in the shake glazes on top of the schredded coconut.
9. Drink and enjoy it!
