Almond butter is milder than peanut butter, so the banana flavor comes through. A bit of cinnamon keeps the shake from tasting flat. It is thick and filling for a shake under a few hundred calories.

Tips
- Use a spotty, ripe banana. Green-tipped bananas taste starchy and less sweet.
- Stir the almond butter jar well. Separated oil at the top throws off the measurement.
Swaps and variations
- Use a frozen banana and skip the ice for a thicker shake.
- Add a spoonful of rolled oats and blend a little longer for a thicker shake.
