Ingredients
Smoothie Ingredients
- ½ cup almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 medium-to-large frozen banana (broken into one-inch chunks before freezing)
- 1 ½ tablespoons flax seed
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- Optional: ¼ to 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon almond flavoring, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Toss all the ingredients into a blender, in the order listed to ensure smooth blending.
- Blend: Start blending on low speed until the blender gains traction, then increase to the highest speed or use the smoothie function if available, until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the smoothie, and if you desire a stronger almond flavor, add up to an additional ⅛ teaspoon of almond flavoring and blend again.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately while cold for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen bananas for a thicker, creamier smoothie without needing ice.
- Maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted based on your desired sweetness.
- Almond flavoring enhances the nutty taste but is not necessary.
- For a dairy-free version, stick with almond milk or plant-based milk alternatives.
- Add a handful of spinach or protein powder for extra nutrients if desired.
