Almond Butter & Banana Smoothie
Creamy, high-protein, and perfectly balanced by almond milk's light body, which keeps this smoothie drinkable instead of gluey.
By Aunesty Janssen · The Arrogant Hippie Culinary Journal: Almond Milk Edition
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 large Frozen Banana
- 2 tbsp Almond Butter
- 1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Ice
Method
- Combine the almond milk, frozen banana, almond butter, honey, and cinnamon in a blender.
- Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Add the ice and blend again until thick and frosty.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Kitchen note
The almond butter is doing the thickening work here, not the milk — if you want it thicker still, add a second tablespoon rather than more banana, which can turn the flavor overly sweet.
