How to Make This Cinnamon Bun Smoothie
Start by getting out all of your ingredients;
- bananas
- oats
- non-dairy yogurt
- cinnamon
- vanilla
- flax meal
- almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
Then fill your blender the way your blender directs you to.
For this recipe I used my nutri-ninja, the order I placed the ingredients were in the same order as I listed them above, starting with the bananas.
For a nutri-ninja, the liquid goes in last.
If you’re using a vitamix, add them in using the order here;
- non-dairy milk
- vanilla
- non-dairy yogurt
- bananas
- flax meal
- cinnamon
- oats
Then blend for about 45 seconds, in 10 to 15 second intervals if using a nutri-ninja (use the Auto-IQ BLEND button).
If using a vitamix, it may not need the full 45 seconds, but at least 30 seconds, starting at 1 and then slowly increasing to 10.
Enjoy immediately once done blending!!
Q&A’s About Smoothies You May Have…
Can you put cinnamon in smoothies?
Absolutely!
I don’t like putting cinnamon in really fruity or citrus-like smoothies.
But, they go great in smoothies that have oats, bananas, and non-dairy yogurt, like this recipe.
Cinnamon in smoothies would also pair nicely with;
- apples and oats smoothie
- pumpkin smoothie
- pear and oats smoothie
- and more!
What can replace Banana in Smoothies?
My kids and I LOVE BANANAS!!!
Seriously, we go through so many bananas in a week that my husband calls us monkeys.
But, he can’t stand bananas, even in smoothies.
Yet, I know how many nutrients and how beneficial smoothies can be in anyone’s diet; so I’ve had to be creative to get him to drink them…without complaining about bananas.
Some banana replacements for smoothies;
- avocado (by far my husbands favorite replacement)
- cauliflower
- pumpkin
- sweet potato
- coconut cream
- rolled oats
- yogurt
- quinoa
- mango
- silken tofu
- pineapple
- pre-soaked cashews
- and even beans!
Should you put yogurt in a smoothie?
Honestly, it depends on the type of smoothie you’re having and why you’re considering adding it and how you want your smoothie to taste.
I understand that non-dairy yogurt isn’t cheap, unless maybe if you make your own. I don’t know, I don’t make my own.
So, if you’re worried if your smoothie won’t be complete unless it has yogurt in it; don’t be!
This recipe is one of very few recipes that I use that uses non-dairy yogurt; most of the recipes I make don’t need it.
For this recipe though, YES, you do need yogurt in it for it to taste the way it is intended to taste.
