Frozen bananas are a staple in many a smoothie\u2014and for good reason. They seemingly do it all, offering sweetness and creaminess in equal measure. They also pair well with countless ingredients, all the while being nutritional powerhouses.

To optimize the smoothie\u2019s health potential, aim to buy a non-dairy yogurt that contains a minimal amount of fillers, is low in sugar, and packs some protein and a smattering of micronutrients. (Tip: Check out which brand varieties of coconut milk yogurt, cashew yogurt, and almond milk yogurt top a dietitian\u2019s list of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-non-dairy-yogurt\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-non-dairy-yogurt\/\">best non-dairy yogurts<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>The same choose-your-own-adventure method goes for the plant milk you\u2019ll add to the sippable base. Although your vanilla protein powder will provide the *pun alert* <em>bulk<\/em> of the protein to this cinnamon roll smoothie, you can also opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/highest-protein-milk-alternatives\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/highest-protein-milk-alternatives\/\">high-protein alt-milk alternatives<\/a> to maximize the content of this vital macronutrient that helps to regulate metabolism, facilitate cellular repair, and repair muscles (among countless other functions).<\/p>\n<p>Next up is almond butter, which one dietitian deems <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sunflower-butter-nutrition\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sunflower-butter-nutrition\/\">\u201cthe queen of the nut butter world.\u201d<\/a> It earns this title given its high nutrient density, boasting a solid balance of healthy fats, protein, and carbs, plus fiber and minerals like potassium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Last but not least, cinnamon goes beyond providing a delicious, warm flavor. It also offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4466762\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4466762\/\">range of health benefits<\/a> given its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, plus antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anticancer potential.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Can we all take a second to marvel at how fluffy and decadent the smoothie is? It basically oozes out of the blender in slow motion and mimics a huge heap of icing, with the proverbial cherry on top being that it\u2019s legitimately good for you. IMHO, the texture alone deserves a standing ovation. And definitely don&#8217;t sleep on the scoop of granola in the bottom of the cup\u2014it&#8217;s the ultimate power move.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1118521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1118521\" style=\"width: 683px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1118521  js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"cinnamon roll smoothie recipe\" width=\"683\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Stocksy_txpee7ec1f2mmn300_Small_852840_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1118521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Stocksy\/Ina Peters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Healthy Kelsii&#8217;s gut-friendly cinnamon roll smoothie recipe<\/h2>\n<p><em>Ingredients<\/em><\/p>\n<p>1-2 frozen bananas<br \/>1-2 tbsp vanilla protein powder<br \/>2 tbsp plant-based yogurt<br \/>1 tsp cinnamon<br \/>1 tbsp almond butter<br \/>1\/3 cup plant milk<br \/>Granola of choice<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.<\/li>\n<li>Pour into a glass and serve with granola.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"block-thin post-citations mt-[40px] mb-[30px]\" data-module-init=\"main-2020\/post-citations\" data-module-immediate=\"true\">\n<hr class=\"!border-seafoam-dark mb-[24px]\"\/>\n<div class=\"post-citations-content flex flex-col gap-[24px]\">\n<p>Well+Good articles reference scientific, reliable, recent, robust studies to back up the information we share.
