Ingredients

1 banana
1 cup almond milk
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 medjool date pitted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 serving Protein Smoothie Boost optional

Instructions

Place ingredients into blender and puree until smooth. Add a little extra almond milk, if smoothie is too thick.
Pour into glass and enjoy. Garnish with extra ground cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

To make extra cold, serve smoothie over ice.
If you want to lower the sugar, omit the date.
Protein Smoothie Boost has flaxseed in it, so you can swap the flaxseed for 1 serving of Smoothie Boost.
Feel free to add 1 cup of spinach and turn this into a green smoothie.
