Banana Almond Butter Smoothie

I've been on a major smoothie kick as temperatures in Chicago have reached the 90s for several days. (No complaint here!) This weekend I decided to experiment with various ingredients and created a delicious banana almond butter smoothie that's great for breakfast, lunch or anytime you just want a tasty frozen treat.

Loaded with tons of fiber, protein and vitamins, this smoothie will keep you full for hours and tastes like a milkshake. It's a good one to try!

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup almond milk (I prefer unsweetened vanilla almond milk) 
• 1 medium or large frozen banana 
• 2 tablespoons of almond butter
• 3 tablespoons of organic hemp protein powder (one serving has a whopping 12 grams of fiber and 11 grams of protein!) 
• 1/2 cup of dry organic whole grain oats 
• One drop of almond extract 
• Dash of cinnamon 
• Add a few ice cubes depending on your desired thickness 

Combine everything into a blender. Blend till smooth. Pour into glass. And ENJOY!!
