Key Ingredients

Frozen bananas. Frozen bananas are an absolute game-changer. Especially when adding them into smoothies.

Non-dairy milk. I like using almond milk, but you can add your favorite non-dairy milk!

Cashew butter. Cashew butter is high in protein and is satiating. It also pairs well with bananas and has a delicious flavor.

Maple syrup. For added sweetness.

Cinnamon and nutmeg. Both of these spices give the smoothie its tasty banana bread flavor. 

A scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder. Perfect for those after-workout treats.

Expert Tips:

• Cut bananas into chunks before freezing, making it easier for your blender to process them.
• For a thicker consistency, include a handful of ice cubes in the blender.
• If you use regular protein powder, add a light sprinkle of vanilla extract for the vanilla flavor!
• Feel free to substitute the almond milk for coconut milk or another dairy free milk. Keep in mind that this will change the nutrition facts.
• For lower sugar content in this smoothie, use unsweetened almond milk.
• Consider adding spinach, chia seeds, another nut butter, or a scoop of Greek yogurt for extra nutrients and texture.
• Make this sweet smoothie for a post-workout snack to fuel your body with protein!
• Use ground cinnamon in this smoothie or a pumpkin pie spice mix for the flavor.
