I heart almond butter.
I didn’t used to think it was that big of a deal, but now I am most definitely obsessed. Step aside, peanut butter. You just aren’t that cool anymore.
I love it on Ezekiel cinnamon raisin toast, on a spoon, and in smoothies like this one.
You wouldn’t think unsalted, un-roasted almonds would blend into something so sweet and perfect, but trust me, they do.
Since I’ve been really sick of fruit smoothies and not sick at all of cookies, I decided to combine the two. I’ve been drinking this combo for three days straight now and I’m still not sick of it. It tastes like a cinnamony snickerdoodle sans all the saturated fat (no offense, coconut).
Snickerdoodle Smoothie
- 1 sliced and frozen banana
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk)
- 1-2 tbsp almond butter
- 1/2 tbsp ground flaxseed/chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
No pre-heating the oven or mixing wet and dry here. Just blend and sip!
I hope this smoothie makes you snicker. I’m off to class, where I’ll probably doodle.
can’t even begin to tell you how much better my morning is with this!! been hitting the blend button on repeat- thanks lexi!!
I’m with you – almond butter > peanut butter for sure! Love the last line too 🙂
Hahaha almond butter is definitely greater than and not equal to peanut butter! 🙂
hahaha the last line! LOVE it!
