Why You'll Love This Recipe

I love making smoothies for breakfast because it's a great way to get in a high protein meal first thing in the morning. Plus, it only takes a few minutes which makes it a great option for busy mornings.

You can also easily double this recipe so you can share with your family! I love that it's blood sugar balancing and keeps me full for 4+ hours!

• Made with only 5 simple ingredients.
• It tastes like a Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll in a cup!
• This high protein smoothie has about 27 grams of protein per serving!
• It's a delicious dairy-free smoothie recipe.
• Takes about 5 minutes to make.
• It's low in sugar.
• Easy to customize for dietary restrictions.
• It will keep you full for hours thanks to the protein and healthy fats!
• Enjoy this high protein shake as a quick breakfast, meal-replacement, or post-workout snack.

🍴Ingredient Notes

• Frozen Bananas - Use ripe bananas if you like sweeter shakes. To create the thick and creamy texture without ice, the bananas must be frozen.
• Water - You can also use a non-dairy milk like unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk.
• Vanilla Protein Powder - My favorite protein powders are Ancient Nutrition Vanilla Bone Broth Protein Powder and Amy Meyers Paleo Vanilla Protein.
• Raw Pumpkin Seeds - Pumpkin seeds make a great addition to this recipe, but you could also try using chia seeds, hemp seeds, or flax seeds.
• Almond Butter - You can use almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter, or any nut butter you have on hand! For a nut-free alternative try Sunbutter or shredded coconut.
• Cinnamon - The star of the show is quality cinnamon! Ceylon cinnamon is my favorite.

Recipe Variations

• Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to give this cinnamon roll smoothie a stronger vanilla flavor!
• For a rich and creamy consistency, add in 1-2 tablespoons of full fat coconut milk.
• To make a pumpkin spice variation, swap the cinnamon for a pumpkin spice blend!

Expert Tips

• If your smoothie is too thin, add more frozen bananas or ice for a super thick and creamy texture.
• If you don't like thick smoothies, add a little extra water or dairy-free milk.
• The riper bananas you use, the sweeter the smoothie will be. If you use greener bananas, you'll lower the sugar content and add more dietary fiber.
• Freeze leftover smoothie in silicone ice cube trays to use for later!
• Use a high-speed blender for this recipe. If you only have a food processor on hand, you can use that too!

Frequently Asked Questions

How to store leftovers

Store leftovers in a glass cup with a lid like a mason jar in the refrigerator or freezer. (It will not stay as thick in the refrigerator.)

You can also make smoothie ice cubes by pouring leftovers into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze for later! (Or meal prep by doubling the recipe!)

Blend the frozen cubes with a non-dairy milk for a quick and easy smoothie.
