i love sipping smoothies in the summertime. and this is one of my favorite new concoctions. i was feeling like the sweet, cinnamon flavor of an horchata and made up this recipe, which is not only delicious, and perfect for a sweet tooth, but this smoothie is easy to make and healthy too!

INGREDIENTS

serves 1

1 frozen banana (i freeze them whole without the peel in a tupperware container)

1 cup almond or rice milk

1 tbs honey or agave nectar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

add a few ice cubes if you like

Add all to a blender, serve and enjoy!

Mmm, that sounds delicious! I recently discovered some coconut based cinnamon ice cream, I'm quite addicted, so I might have to try this as well;)
