Ingredients
-
1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
-
1 large banana, frozen
-
2 tablespoons rolled oats
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds (great for omega-3 fatty acids)
-
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon (the star ingredient of our cinnamon smoothie)
-
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (for added creaminess and protein)
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
-
Ice cubes (as needed)
Directions
Blend the almond milk, frozen banana, rolled oats, and chia seeds and combine until smooth. The chia seeds are a thickening agent and also a source of fiber and omega-3s.
Add the vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the blender. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add honey or maple syrup.
Add a few ice cubes and blend again. Add more ice or milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Pour the smoothie into a glass, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top for garnish, and enjoy your Cinnamon Roll Protein Smoothie!
