Recipe Challenge Day 8: Cinnamon Bun Smoothie
February 8, 2014
Sweet Treat for this Mama. As a Mom I really and rarely do get a treat, whether it’s five minutes alone ( yeah right like that will happen) or some peace and quiet ( again, ha!) What better way to steal a moment for myself than to make a quick fresh and tasty smoothie? I love the taste of this, it’s just a quick pick me up and I’d like to try to add some brewed coffee to it next time, see how it comes out.
It does taste like a cinnamon bun, most likely due to the almond milk and cinnamon taste. I had orginally jumped at this because I just wanted the cinnamon bun. ha. My friend sent this recipe to me.
Ingredients
1 frozen banana, cut into four pieces
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon ( nutmeg would work in a pinch as well)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon honey
Cinnamon stick, for garnish
Directions
Using a blender combine all the ingredients and blend till smooth. If needed add more milk . I want to try this again but with a little added brewed coffee, I bet it would be great! Garnish with cinnamon stick and enjoy!

This looks delicious! I'll keep it in my mind as a special treat after I've shed my winter pounds… I left a message before but not sure it went through.

This must be unbelievably good. I'd love to try it once I've shed a few of the winter weight pounds gained. 🙂

I just want to know, how do you get to enjoy your shake without being begged to share, lol. Every time I make a smoothie, I lose it to my youngest. This recipe sounds so good and I can not wait to try it.

Pinned it before I even read the post. This looks freaking awesome! Way to step outside the usual fruit smoothie box and come up with something original!
