Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 medium frozen banana peeled and sliced before freezing
- 0.33 cup rolled oats certified gluten-free if necessary
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder whey or plant-based
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 tbsp almond butter creamy and unsalted
- 2 whole Medjool dates pitted
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon plus extra for garnish
- 0.25 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt to enhance the cookie flavor
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional for extra thickness
Notes
For a 'raisin' twist, stir in 1 tablespoon of raisins after blending. To make this ahead of time, blend everything except the ice and store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking. You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter if preferred.
