Notes
- Variations:
- Use a ripe banana if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Choose a frozen banana for an instant chilled banana nut smoothie.
- Switch it up with different nuts like Brazil nuts or walnuts.
- If preferred, use almond butter instead of nuts.
- Add some hemp seeds to the mix.
- Add a small amount of vanilla extract or cocoa powder instead of cinnamon powder.
- You can add protein powder when enjoyed as a post-workout smoothie. Just make sure to add enough liquid so the nut smoothie does not become too thick.
