We go through a lot of almond butter in our house. We usually have about 3 jars floating around here at any given time and I may or may not carry a small jar in my purse. Ok, yeah, I have a big purse!
It’s a great snack spread on toast, a crunchy pancake topper or a protein packed treat by the spoonful. But,one of my favorite ways to enjoy it is blended up in a smoothie with bananas, oatmeal and almond milk. It’s tasty, nutty and packed with protein!
Swap added sugar for the natural sweetness of a ripe banana. The banana will also give the smoothie a creamy, frosty texture.
