Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at the right temperature. Take the banana out of the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature for easier blending.
- Peel the ripe banana and break it into several chunks to help it blend more smoothly.
- Add the almond milk to the blender first, which helps create a smooth base and prevents ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
- Add the almond butter to the blender, ensuring it is well-stirred if separated.
- Pour in the honey, measuring carefully to get the precise sweetness.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon into the blender, which will distribute evenly during blending.
- Add the banana chunks and ice to the mixture.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed to ensure complete mixing.
- Pour the shake into two glasses, dividing equally.
- Optional: Garnish with a light sprinkle of cinnamon on top or a small banana slice for presentation.
- Serve immediately while the shake is cold and frothy for the best taste and texture.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure your almond milk and banana are fresh for the best flavor and texture. A ripe banana will add natural sweetness and creaminess to your shake.
- Blend Order Matters: Start by adding the almond milk to the blender first. This helps create a smooth base and prevents the almond butter from sticking to the bottom.
- Customize Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste. If you prefer a less sweet shake, start with a smaller amount and add more if needed.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For an extra refreshing shake, chill your almond milk and banana before blending. You can also use frozen banana chunks instead of ice for a creamier texture.
- Garnish for Presentation: Don’t forget to garnish your shake! A light sprinkle of cinnamon or a banana slice on top can make your shake look even more inviting.
- Blend Thoroughly: Make sure to blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your shake right after blending for the best taste and texture. The frothiness and chill will make it a delightful morning treat!
