What Does The Smoothie Taste Like?

Even though this banana flaxseed smoothie is for weight loss, that doesn’t mean it isn’t tasty.

This smoothie is like a tasty mixtape of flavors! The frozen banana slices bring the sweet notes, while flaxseeds add a bit of nuttiness.

Almond butter jumps in with a creamy twist, making it all extra delicious.

Cinnamon spices things up, giving it a cozy feel.

The smoothie is quite thick, and not overly sweet. A perfect marriage between the ingredient combinations!

Optional Recipe Variations

You can customize this smoothie recipe in numerous ways.

Since bananas work with so many ingredients, you can adjust the ingredients of this smoothie in many different ways.

Here are some ideas for you, based on my own testing of variations that worked well:

• Don’t like bananas? Swap them for mango or pineapple.
• For a lower-sugar smoothie recipe, swap the banana and use 1 small avocado instead.
• For a nut-free alternative, use oat or coconut milk instead of almond, and swap the almond butter for sunflower seed butter.
• For extra spiciness, add 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger. 

Smoothie Tips:

I have been making this fat-burning flaxseed smoothie for over a year now. 

Each time I make this smoothie, I pick up a couple of tricks that make the smoothie-making process easy.

Here are the tips;

• Always add the frozen fruit first to your blender, since frozen fruit is harder to blend.
• Next, add the milk. If you add the flaxseeds, they will just sink in the bottom, and the blades won’t be able to incorporate them in the smoothie.
• Start blending at a lower speed, then gradually increase it. This will allow your blender blades to crush the frozen fruit first.
