Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon almond butter (optional, for extra nuttiness)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:Peel the ripe banana and break it into chunks.
Measure out the almond milk, ground flaxseed, almond butter (if using), and sweetener (if using).
Blend:In a blender, combine the banana chunks, almond milk, ground flaxseed, almond butter, and sweetener (if using).
If you want a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes as well.
Blend Until Smooth:Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Make sure everything is well combined.
Adjust Consistency (if needed):If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk. If it’s too thin, you can add more banana or ice cubes.
Serve:Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately.
Optional Additions:
You can add a handful of spinach or kale for added nutrition without altering the flavor much.
A dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract can enhance the flavor profile.
Chia seeds can be used instead of or in addition to flaxseed for added fiber.
This smoothie is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients from the banana, almond milk, and flaxseed, making it a healthy choice for a quick breakfast or snack.
