1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

directions

If I want extra protein or creaminess, I toss in the Greek yogurt.
I blend until smooth, usually about 30–45 seconds.
If I like it colder or thicker, I add a few ice cubes and blend again.

storage/reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but I’ve stored leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I always shake it well or give it a quick blend again before drinking. I don’t recommend reheating it since it’s meant to be enjoyed cold.
