This smoothie with vegan cinnamon coffee makes a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack. It’s creamy, filling, and tasty since it’s made with dates and almond butter.
I had originally intended to share a recipe for cinnamon rolls for this post to bring back all of my warm and comforting Christmas morning memories.
I didn’t finish it. Making a cinnamon roll smoothie, which has all the benefits of cinnamon rolls but in a healthier form, was the backup plan.
Then again, who am I kidding? I thought. Instead, I’m sharing this delicious coffee smoothie that we’ve been making all week and enjoying since a cinnamon smoothie will never be a cinnamon roll.
You won’t feel like you’ve overindulged in carbohydrates or sweets because it is creamy and filling. You’ll have more energy to unwrap presents thanks to it, and you’ll feel better about enjoying a beverage and a few sweets later on in the day.
Ingredients for a cinnamon coffee smoothie recipe
You won’t believe this vegan recipe for a coffee smoothie until you give it a try. It is velvety & intensely delicious without any dairy thanks to a few essential ingredients:
- The natural sweetness and creamy texture of frozen bananas are added.
- Healthy fats and protein are added by the almond butter, which combines with the banana to create a smooth, delectable beverage.
- Caffeine and the fundamental coffee flavor are brought by coffee.
- The blender starts up with almond milk.
- This smoothie has more lasting power thanks to vanilla protein powder, which also adds delicious vanilla flavor.
- Cinnamon adds flavor to it!
- And maca imparts a toasty butterscotch-like flavor to this smoothie. Additionally, it is loaded with vitamins like potassium, iron, and manganese and is thought to improve your mood and vitality.
- If you’re feeling it, add a Medjool date to the smoothie to make it even sweeter!
