Recipe: Silk Almond Milk Smoothies

The weather is warming up outside, we are seeing sunny (and rainy) days, and spring is officially here. Smoothies are a great way to combat the heat, and I love having them for breakfast in the spring and summer months!



Over the past two weeks, I’ve enjoyed a smoothie for breakfast almost every morning. I tossed around several recipes and came up with a few I think you’ll enjoy, too!

This was my first time to use Silk’s brand of almond milk and I have to say that I really enjoyed the texture – it’s creamier than other almond milk brands I’ve tried in the past.

To begin, all of my smoothies call for a ripe (or very ripe) frozen banana. They also call for ice and a creamy base – in this case, I used Silk Almond Milk. All three recipes are Paleo friendly, too (if you consider processed almond milk paleo…some things you just can’t help…) and are also all around 275-300 calories a piece!  (I also liked using Silk almond milk as an alternative to dairy milk because it contains fewer calories.)

“Elvis” Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Silk Almond Milk
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ripe frozen banana
• 1 tbsp almond butter
• 1/2 cup ice
• 1 tbsp honey

Blend together in a blender, serve, and enjoy!



This smoothie is very chocolate-y and rich. If you would like to change it up a bit, only adding 1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder would work, too!

Banana Cream Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Silk Almond Milk
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 ripe frozen banana
• 1 tbsp almond butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup ice

If you know me, you know I love banana flavored anything! This was definitely a favorite of mine out of the three! :)

So refreshing on a warm morning!
