ALMOND BUTTER BANANA SWIRL

Almond Butter Banana Swirl is a velvety, protein-rich smoothie that delivers a perfect balance of natural sweetness and nutty richness. The creamy texture comes from ripe banana and almond butter, while almond milk provides a smooth and dairy-free base. A dash of cinnamon adds warmth and depth and honey enhances the natural sweetness with a touch of indulgence. This smoothie is packed with fibre, healthy fats and essential nutrients, making it an excellent choice for breakfast, a post-workout drink or a mid-day energy booster. The combination of banana and almond butter creates a luscious consistency that satisfies hunger and cravings while keeping you fuelled for hours. Enjoy it as is, or top it with crushed almonds, chia seeds or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added texture and flavour.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this almond butter banana swirl.

  • Use High-Quality Almond Butter: Look for natural almond butter with no added sugars or preservatives.
  • Chill The Almond Milk: Cold almond milk enhances the refreshing quality of the smoothie.
  • Blend For Longer: This ensures the almond butter is fully incorporated for a smooth texture.
  • Sweeten To Taste: Adjust the honey based on preference or replace it with maple syrup for a different sweetness.
  • Enhance The Nutty Flavour: Toasted almonds or a pinch of nutmeg can add extra depth.
  • Make It Extra Thick: Reduce the almond milk for a spoonable smoothie bowl topped with granola and fruit.

VARIATIONS

  • Higher Protein: Blend in a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon protein powder.
  • Nutty Twist: Use cashew butter or peanut butter instead of almond butter for a different flavour.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Swap almond milk for coconut or oat milk for a creamier texture.
  • Extra Spice: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for additional warmth.
  • Chocolate Blend: Mix in 1 tsp of cocoa powder for a chocolate-almond version.
  • Tropical Version: Add a handful of shredded coconut for a tropical touch.
  • Dessert-Style Treat: Top with dark chocolate shavings and a drizzle of almond butter for a decadent twist.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Stir before drinking.
  • Freezing: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Blend with fresh almond milk when ready to serve.
  • Meal Prep: Pre-portion banana and almond butter into freezer bags for quick blending on busy mornings.
