Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup unsweetened oat milk chilled
- 1 medium frozen banana peeled and sliced
- 2 whole Medjool dates pitted and soaked in warm water for 5 minutes
- 1 tbsp almond butter creamy style
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon for flavor and blood sugar balance
- 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract optional for aroma
- 1 pinch sea salt to enhance sweetness
Notes
For best results, use a very ripe banana for higher melatonin content. If you find the smoothie too thick, add an extra splash of oat milk. You can substitute almond butter with cashew butter for a milder flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 12 hours, though separation may occur.
