Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium Frozen banana
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 4 large Ice cubes
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Peel the banana and cut it into chunks for easier blending.
In a high-powered blender, combine the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and banana chunks.
Add the vanilla extract and ground flaxseed to the blender.
Toss in the ice cubes and, if desired, add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
Start blending at a low speed, gradually increasing to high speed until all ingredients are well-incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stop the blender and check the consistency. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, gradually add more almond milk and blend again.
Once the desired consistency is reached, taste and adjust the flavor with more cinnamon if needed.
Pour the smoothie base into a glass or use it as a base with additional fruits or toppings of your choice.
