Almond Butter, Date, and Banana Smoothie

November 23, 2015

This easy and delicious smoothie is the best way to jump start your Monday!

Of all the smoothies I’ve tried, this one is at the top of my list. Rich in protein, potassium and calcium, it combines bananas, dates, almond butter, and almond milk. Simply toss everything in a blender and sprinkle with cinnamon and you’ve got yourself a smooth and creamy treat!

And if you’re feeling extra frisky, feel free to experiment with honey, greek yogurt, and ground cardamom or toss in chia seeds or ground flaxseed for additional benefits. Enjoy!
