This recipe features almond milk, but feel free to substitute your favorite non-dairy milk alternative. Cashew milk, vanilla almond milk, and oat milk all work wonderfully, although for the most authentic nutty flavor, stick with nut-based milk. Coconut milk can also be used, but it will create a sweeter and more tropical taste.

I’ve opted for creamy almond butter for a classic nutty almond flavor, but feel free to customize. Cashew butter or a different nut butter of your choice can be swapped for a delicious twist.

A touch of cinnamon adds a warm and delightful spice to this smoothie.

Optional ingredients. To customize this recipe even more, you can add a scoop of protein powder, some chia seeds, or flax seeds for additional protein, dietary fiber, and healthy fat.
