Ingredients

Be sure to take a look at the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and quantities to make this Almond Butter Banana Smoothie.

Non-Dairy Milk: Any non-dairy milk will do just fine, But obviously for this smoothie we used almond milk. I always use vanilla unsweetened.
Frozen Bananas: Yes the Bananas need to be frozen, it's best to chop them up before freezing them so blending is easier.
Cinnamon: Not necessary but adds a very nice flavor enhancement to this non dairy smoothie.
Almond Butter: The main flavor of this smoothie, I like to use natural creamy roasted almond butter for best flavor but raw almond butter (not roasted) would be fine also.

Variations

Dairy Free: This Almond Butter Banana Smoothie is dairy-free, using non-dairy almond milk. However, you can use any dairy-free milk of your choice. The taste will vary if you switch the milk.
Adjust Serving Size: This light and refreshing, simple almond butter smoothie banana is a single-size serving, but you can easily double or triple this recipe if you have family or friends over and share this amazing smoothie with them.
Protein Powder: Almond and cinnamon flavored smoothie tastes excellent, but if you’re wanting more protein in this smoothie, feel free to add a scoop of a plant-based protein powder.
Add Greens: Simply add 1-2 stems of kale to this banana almond milk smoothie; you'll barely taste it, and it’s a great way to get more greens into your diet.

Expert Tips

Use Frozen Bananas: This tasty cinnamon and almond smoothie needs frozen bananas. The frozen bananas help maintain the smoothie’s cold, frosty, and thick texture. Be sure to chop the bananas and freeze them (at least 12 hours prior). If you’d like it colder, you can add 1-2 ice cubes.
Keep Frozen Bananas: If you enjoyed this recipe for Almond Butter Banana Smoothies, keep frozen bananas (in a freezer bag) in the freezer on hand, ready to grab when needed.
Serve Immediately: It’s best to enjoy this smoothie right away. I don’t recommend chilling this smoothie in the refrigerator; the texture quickly begins to deteriorate.
