Cinnamon Roll Smoothie

When I was growing up, my family made homemade cinnamon rolls all the time. They were fantastic. I always loved the crispy outsides, but hated the gooey middle. So weird, I know. I guess my parents and siblings benefitted from my crunchy roll preferences when they got to eat the middle of my cinnamon roll! Anyways, if you’re like me and have fond memories of mornings with the cinnamonest cinnamon roll, try out this smoothie for a MUCH healthier way to get the same delicious flavor!

Ingredients

  • ½ steamed & frozen sweet potato
  • ½ c frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1 frozen banana 
  • ¾ c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup (optional – not the added sugar-packed fake stuff!!)
  • 1 tbs rolled oats
  • 2 tsp cinnamon 
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 
  • 1 tsp each of flax seed and chia seed 

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients to your blender and blend. Add more almond milk as needed to reach your desired smoothie consistency. Top with my homemade cinnamon maple granola and a sprinkle of cinnamon. 
  2. Enjoy!

AB&J Smoothie

I cannot tell you how many hundreds of PB&J sandwiches I consumed as a child. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve lost some of my taste for peanut butter (I only like it with specific things- weird, I know), but I LOVE almond butter. This AB&J smoothie is inspired by my go to childhood lunch, but it’s so much healthier and more satisfying! 

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients to a high power blender and blend. Add more liquid if you like a drinkable smoothie or less liquid and more frozen fruits and veggies if you like a spoonable smoothie. 
  2. Drizzle some almond butter inside your cup to make your smoothie fancy!
  3. Option to top with blueberries and an almond butter drizzle.
  4. Enjoy!
