Today’s smoothie from Ink*Lemonade required very little modification except to halve some of the ingredients — I didn’t need it to serve two! — but I am a flavour junkie so I kept the almond butter and cinnamon at the “serves two” levels.
Almond butter was something we didn’t have in the cupboard but now that it’s there I’m confident we’ll go through it. Ground flaxseed on the other hand, I was not so sure. I bought some for this recipe and was hopeful it would blend as well as the chia seeds.
I should not have been concerned; this is very similar to the peanut-butter & banana smoothie that really got me away from the fruity smoothies I’d always made and started me on this challenge. In fact, I prefer this one to the peanut butter; the almond butter is very smooth, the flax (since it is ground) is well-blended, and the honey really adds a nice layer of sweetness.
Tomorrow, I’ll be moving away from brown-coloured smoothies to something fruity and for the first time, something green.
