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

  • 1 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • ½ steamed & frozen sweet potato
  • ½ c frozen riced cauliflower 
  • 1 frozen banana 
  • 1 – 2 medjool dates
  • 1 tbs rolled oats
  • 2 tsp cinnamon 
  • 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!

PB&J Smoothie

You know that old saying, “it goes together like peanut butter and jelly”? Well, that’s how I view the words “healthy” and “delicious.” I want to scream from the rooftops that you don’t have to pick one OR the other. That’s right, my friends. Healthy food CAN and SHOULD taste delicious! This PB&J Smoothie is case in point.

Flash back to a year ago when I created my AB&J Smoothie, noting I prefer the flavor of almond butter to peanut butter. Alas, for some reason last fall I was on a huge peanut butter kick and so this recipe was created. I probably had it almost every day for two months straight, so it’s about time I share it with you! I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/2 c frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 c frozen riced cauliflower
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • Sprinkle of broccoli sprouts (optional, but great for your gut microbiome!)
  • 1 goji berry Blender Bomb
  • 2 tbs natural peanut butter (Check the ingredient label! The only ingredient in your peanut butter should be peanuts. Everything else is unnecessary.)

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients to your high-powered blender.
  2. While you’re blending your smoothie, drizzle a little peanut butter in your glass. It will look super gourmet and you’ll enjoy an occasional yummy bite with an extra punch of flavor!
  3. Pour your smoothie into your glass and enjoy!

I love my smoothies super thick – almost like soft-serve ice cream consistency. I find them to be the most satiating when eaten with a spoon! If you prefer yours thinner or if your blender can’t handle the ratio of liquid to frozen foods, just add more liquid.

The blueberry with the cinnamon seriously makes this smoothie taste like you’re eating a delicious homemade blueberry muffin, but without the sluggish feeling and with all the amazing antioxidants. Give it a try – it won’t disappoint!  

Ingredients

  • 1 c unsweetened coconut milk (the kind from the carton, not the can!)
  • ½ c frozen blueberries
  • ½ c frozen riced cauliflower
  • ½ frozen banana 
  • 1 heaping handful of spinach (The more the merrier! I promise you won’t taste it.)
  • 1 tbs almond butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 Aloe & Irish Sea Moss Blender Bomb

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-power blender.
