INGREDIENTS
- 1 whole banana frozen
- 1 whole apple
- 1 cup soy milk unsweetened
- ⅓ cup protein powder unflavored or vanilla
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
METHOD
- Add all the ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend till smooth.
- Start with adding the the soy milk and fruit chunks into a high speed blender. Give it a quick blend to break down the fruit chunks.
- Next, add the protein powder, almond butter, flax seeds, and cinnamon. Blend till smooth. Note: If it's too thick, add more soy milk and blend again.
- Serve in a serving glass garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
NOTES
- Use Ripe Bananas: Ripe bananas are sweeter and blend more smoothly, so make sure they’re nice and spotty before freezing them.
- Soak Your Seeds: If you don't have a high-speed blender, you can soak the flaxseeds in soy milk for 10 minutes before blending to soften them.
- Clean Blender Immediately: Rinse and clean your blender right after use. Dried-on smoothie remnants can be quite the challenge to remove later!
