Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 large ripe banana frozen is best
  • 2 tbsp creamy almond butter
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional, for sweetness
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if necessary.
  4. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker "milkshake" texture, use frozen banana and reduce almond milk to ¾ cup.
  • To make this smoothie vegan, ensure you use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Let the smoothie sit for 5 minutes after blending to allow the chia seeds to thicken the mixture even more.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 1 day (shake well before drinking).
