This week's Vanilla Cinnamon Coffee Smoothie recipe is perfect for an on the go breakfast. It's so good, you'll want it anytime you need a little pick-me-up. Subtle hints of vanilla and cinnamon blend together harmoniously with coffee, frozen bananas, oats and almond butter to create a creamy and amazingly delicious, healthy and satisfying smoothie.
Ingredients You'll Need
- 6 oz. brewed coffee- the star ingredient, so use whatever coffee you prefer.
- Plant-based milk of choice- almond milk works great, but use whatever you have on hand.
- Frozen bananas- make this smoothie filling and nutritious.
- Almond butter- Almond butter has a more delicate in flavor than peanut butter which is why I prefer it in this smoothie. Justin's Classic Almond Butter is a favorite of mine.
- Rolled oats- a great way to add fiber and make it more of a meal.
- Pitted Medjool date- for that perfect amount of caramel sweetness only a Medjool date can provide.
- Vanilla extract- makes this smoothie smell more like a dessert than a smoothie.
- Cinnamon-is the perfect match with vanilla and coffee flavors.
