Healthy Banana Bread Smoothie

Here’s a healthy Banana Bread Smoothie recipe without butter:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 large ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon almond butter (or any nut butter)
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• A handful of ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Make sure the banana is ready to blend. Measure out all the other ingredients.
2. Blend: Add the almond milk, banana, rolled oats, almond butter, flax seeds, cinnamon, vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup (if using), and ice cubes into a blender.
3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener if needed. If you prefer it colder or thicker, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.
5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Tips:

• Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder for extra protein.
• Nutty Flavor: Add a tablespoon of chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) for added texture and a nutty flavor.
• Green Boost: Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrition. The taste will be masked by the banana and cinnamon.
