Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any preferred plant-based milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey or plant protein powder approximately 30g
  • 1/2 frozen banana sliced before freezing for easier blending
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tbsp almond butter adds creaminess and healthy fats
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes adjust for desired thickness

Notes

For an extra caffeine boost, replace 1/4 cup of almond milk with chilled concentrated chai tea. To make this ahead of time, portion the dry spices and protein powder into a small container. This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be stored in an airtight thermos for up to 2 hours.
