Before you start blending your Salted Banana Almond Butter Smoothie, it's essential to prepare your ingredients properly. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture and flavor balance in your smoothie. Start by selecting ripe bananas, as they provide natural sweetness and creaminess. Look for bananas with a few brown spots; they are at their peak ripeness and will enhance the smoothie’s flavor.

Ingredients

1 ripe banana, frozen for optimal creaminess

2 tablespoons almond butter

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, depending on desired sweetness)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for extra nutrition)

A handful of ice cubes (optional, if you want a thicker smoothie)

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: If not already done, peel the banana and freeze it a few hours before making the smoothie for a colder and creamier texture.

    Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the frozen banana, almond butter, almond milk, maple syrup or honey (if using), vanilla extract, and sea salt.

      Add Extras: If you like, sprinkle in the cinnamon and chia seeds for an added boost of flavor and health benefits.

        Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk by the tablespoon until reaching your desired consistency.

          Taste Test: Give your smoothie a taste. If you want it sweeter, you can add more maple syrup or honey and blend again.

            Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for that perfect savory-sweet combo.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately, and enjoy your nutritious and delicious salted banana almond butter smoothie!
