🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, prep your ingredients. Wash your banana and peel it. If you are using frozen banana, let it thaw slightly; this'll make blending way easier. Next, grab your almond butter – I prefer the crunchy kind, myself; it adds a nice texture. Measure out your liquid - I find milk works best, but feel free to experiment!
- Now, it's time for the main event! Add the banana, almond butter, and liquid to your trusty blender. Give it a good whirl – blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Don't forget to scrape down the sides occasionally to ensure everything gets blended properly.
- Take a peek at your creation. Does it look a little thick? Add a splash more liquid. Too thin? Add a few more ice cubes! Remember that ripe bananas are your best friend for this recipe, and you can make this smoothie any time you like... it's just that easy! You're done! Pour your delicious smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. Maybe add a few banana slices or some chopped almonds for a little extra pizzazz. You could even sprinkle some cocoa powder on top if you're feeling adventurous. If you're really feeling fancy, add a bit of cinnamon or some fresh berries! This is your smoothie, let it be your best version.
- Lastly, take a picture of your beautiful smoothie! Share your masterpiece with the world! Use the hashtag #BananaAlmondButterSmoothie and tag me on social media – always happy to see what you've made! Don't forget to have a great time, you've earned a delicious treat!
