Print Recipe

A creamy, spiced smoothie made with banana, almond butter, and warming spices like cinnamon and cardamom. Topped with chopped almonds and hemp seeds, it’s a naturally sweet, protein-rich beverage perfect for breakfast or an energizing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds (plus more for topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 Medjool dates, pitted (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup crushed ice (optional)
  • Toppings: chopped almonds, hemp seeds, extra cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Add the banana, almond milk, almond butter, hemp seeds, spices, vanilla, dates (if using), and ice to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour into a chilled glass and top with chopped almonds, a sprinkle of hemp seeds, and a dusting of cinnamon.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • Adjust spices to taste—more cinnamon for warmth, or cardamom for floral notes.
  • Use fresh banana instead of frozen for a thinner texture.
  • Omit dates for a lower sugar option.
  • Add protein powder or oats to make it more filling.
