A new juice joint opened up in our neighborhood and their almond smoothie is amazing and the inspiration behind my version. It’s dairy free, really healthy, and tastes like dessert for breakfast minus the guilt and the stomach ache.
Almond Banana Flaxseed Smoothie
serves 2 in tall glasses, or 3 in smaller glasses
2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/4 cup almond butter*
2 frozen ripe bananas [I break each banana into pieces, wrap in freezer-safe foil, and freeze overnight]
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons honey or desired sweetness
Blend and enjoy.
*Tip: Use an ice cream scoop [this is my favorite] to prevent almond butter from sticking to spoon.
This sounds just yummy, I’m going to try it in the morning but I’m going to grate a bit of fresh nutmeg into it. Thanks!
Yumm! What a great idea. Nutmeg sounds delicious- I’ll have to try that too!
I absolutely love your blog. You draw so well
Will definitely have to follow from now on!
PS – This smoothie looks delicious. I think I’ll have one for a snack today!
Thanks Diane!
Enjoy your smoothie!
Is that a paper straw I see??

How is this Diabetic friendly?
It’s not meant to be. Does it say somewhere that it is?
[...] In my life, flaxseeds are like kale: if I can in any way include it in what I’m eating, I will. It should be that way in your life, too, because of the immense health benefits to be had. Contrary to popular belief, they are delicious – even more delicious when paired with a little honey and cinnamon. Recipe and image via Ink Lemonade. [...]

I made this today with some variation…chia seeds instead of flax and added pumpkin spice in addition to the cinnamon. So good!!
