Ingredients

• 1 large banana (frozen sliced banana works best for a thick texture)

• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

• 1 tablespoon almond butter (or peanut butter)

• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

• Handful of ice cubes (if using a fresh banana)

For Garnish (Optional):

• 2-3 thin banana slices

• 1 tablespoon sliced almonds

• A pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prep the Base: Peel your banana. If it is fresh, slice it into chunks.

2. Combine: Add the banana chunks, almond milk, almond butter, ground cinnamon, and honey into a high-speed blender. If you are using a fresh banana instead of a frozen one, toss in a handful of ice cubes to make it chilled and frothy.

3. Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30 to 45 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and free of any large lumps.

4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass.

5. Garnish & Enjoy: Top with a few fresh banana slices, a sprinkle of sliced almonds, and a dusting of cinnamon to match the picture. Pop in a straw and enjoy fresh!

Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend for 5 seconds. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes or frozen banana slices.
