Description

These three variations of almond milk smoothies offer something for everyone. From the fall-inspired Spcied Pumpkin Pie smoothie, to the healthful Green Goodness smoothie, and flavorful Berrylicious Protein smoothie, you’ll have plenty to choose from!


Ingredients

Scale

For smoothie base:

  • 1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup rolled oat
  • 1 medium frozen banana

Option 1 (The Spiced Pumpkin Pie Smoothie):

  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 tsp carob powder

Option 2 (The Green Goodness Smoothie):

  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 1 Granny Smith apple
  • 1/2 tsp flaxseed powder
  • 1 tbsp honey

Option 3 (The Berrylicious Protein Smoothie):

  • 1/3 cup frozen blueberry
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp protein powder

Instructions

  1. Blend the almond milk, rolled oat, and frozen banana together in a high-powered blender until completely smooth. 
  2. Add the ingredients of your chosen option and continue to blend until you have a homogeneous mixture.
  3. Pour into glasses to drink straight away or into a bottle to drink on the go.
  4. Enjoy your smoothie the way you like it!

Notes

  • Drinking with a straw will increase your smoothie pleasure. I recommend using a glass or metal straw. Not only because it is environmentally friendly, but also for you to enjoy your smoothie. Cardboard or plastic straws are not a suitable choice for drinking smoothies, you will have to exert more effort due to the density of the smoothie.
  • To make option 2 vegan, you can choose the same amount of maple syrup, plant-based sweetener, or fruit extract instead of honey. To make option 3 vegan, choose plant-based protein powder such as pea or rice protein powder instead of casein- or whey-based protein powder.
  • You can use any plant-based milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, cashew, rice, or oat milk.
  • Use a high-powered blender to make smoothies. The power of the blender you use is important to bring a frozen banana, almond milk, and oat to a creamy consistency. Whether you make your smoothie completely smooth or not is entirely up to you, after the base is creamy and smooth, you do not have to make the ingredients you add in the second step completely smooth, you can leave it with particles.
  • You can keep your smoothie in an airtight bottle in the refrigerator for up to 36 hours.
  • If you want to make your own pumpkin pie spice blend to your taste, you can mix cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice in any amount you want.
  • You can use any nut butter you want instead of peanut butter. Cashew butter and almond butter will go well with this smoothie. If you are using an unsweetened nut butter and your fruits are not sweet enough, you can add 1 tsp sweetener or maple syrup.
