Ingredients

Fruits and Sweeteners

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 2 pitted medjool dates

Liquids

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk

Powders and Spices

  • 1 teaspoon maca powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 1 scoop protein powder

Nuts and Butters

  • 2 tablespoons almond butter

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Place the frozen banana, non-dairy milk, pitted medjool dates, maca powder, cinnamon, ground flax seeds, almond butter, and protein powder into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend Smooth: Process all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks remaining.
  3. Adjust Flavor and Texture: Taste the smoothie and add additional dates for sweetness, more cinnamon for spice, or ice for a thicker and colder consistency, blending briefly again as needed.
  4. Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • If using a fresh banana instead of a frozen one, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender to achieve a colder and thicker smoothie.
  • This smoothie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours but is best enjoyed fresh for optimal taste and texture.
  • The almond butter can be substituted with any nut butter of your preference, such as peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
