Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large frozen banana (sliced before freezing for easier blending)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, or cashew are all great)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (or cashew butter for a milder, cookie-like flavor)
  • 1–2 tablespoons rolled oats (adds body and a bakery-style vibe)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt (enhances the cookie flavor)
  • Optional add-ins: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon flaxseed or chia seeds, a pinch of nutmeg, or a few ice cubes for extra thickness

Method
 

  1. Prep your banana: If you haven’t already, slice and freeze a ripe banana. Frozen bananas are key for a thick, creamy smoothie.
  2. Add liquids first: Pour the milk into your blender. This helps the blades catch and blend smoothly.
  3. Layer the rest: Add the frozen banana, almond butter, oats, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and sweetener if using. Add any optional protein powder or seeds now.
  4. Blend until creamy: Start on low, then increase to high. Blend 30–60 seconds until completely smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.
  5. Taste and adjust: Add more cinnamon for warmth, a drizzle of maple for sweetness, or a pinch more salt to enhance the cookie flavor.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top for that classic snickerdoodle look.
