Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk ensure it is chilled
- 1 large frozen banana peeled and sliced before freezing for best texture
- 2 tbsp creamy almond butter use roasted almond butter for deeper flavor
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract adds the signature aromatic vanilla flavor
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla; use coconut yogurt for vegan option
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional, adjust based on banana ripeness
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon adds a warm, cozy scent
- 0.5 cup ice cubes only if a thicker, frostier consistency is desired
Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours in the fridge (shake well before drinking). Make-Ahead: Prep 'smoothie packs' by freezing the banana and almond butter together in a silicone bag. Substitution: Use sunbutter instead of almond butter for a nut-free version that still tastes delicious.
