Almond Milk: A great neutral flavour for this smoothie but you can also substitute regular milk or another plant-based milk (oat milk would work great!)

Vanilla Protein Powder: I especially like to add a scoop of protein powder if I’m enjoying this smoothie post-workout or as breakfast so it keep’s me full for a couple of hours.

Dates: Are a great source of antioxidants and fibre.

Almond Butter: Adds a bit of protein and healthy fats to this smoothie.

Cinnamon: Brings all the flavours together.

Maple Syrup: Adds a little sweetness and is a great natural sweetener.
