Cinnamon Roll Smoothie

We’ve whipped up smoothie bowls and coffee smoothies and smoothies packed with fruit, but today we’re taking a different approach. Today we’re transforming what is very likely my favorite food on the planet, gooey decadent cinnamon buns, into a smoothie. And a healthy smoothie, no less.

- 1 banana, chopped and frozen

- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon + ½ tsp cinnamon (separated)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon honey

The Smoothie Ingredients
Now this smoothie has some seriously simple yet important components. Let’s talk about ‘em. The frozen banana is our base. It creates a frozen, creamy foundation that’s so much more satisfying than if we were to use ice as a base. We’re throwing in instant or rolled oats for a touch of nuttiness and to thicken it up, and also to replicate the taste of the cinnamon bun dough. Greek yogurt packs a punch of protein while combing with the vanilla and brown sugar to give the taste of the icing. And finally, we’ll drizzle it with a honey/cinnamon combo for a healthy dose pizazz.
I hope you enjoy this cinnamon roll smoothie!

What can be used in place of the banana
Amanda Davis says
e haven’t tested it, but you could try mango, pineapple or avacado.

I left out the brown sugar since I am a weight watcher, but it was definitely missing. Tasted like watery flour. Had it as an early breakfast. I used a regular banana, since I had. Since the smoothie wasn’t cold, I added ice.
