1 banana frozen

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract - optional
1/2 cup ice cubes - optional

Notes

*I make my smoothie using a Nespresso machine espresso shot. If you don't have an espresso machine you could make this with a small, strong amount of instant coffee; about 1/4 cup will do.

*You can swap the almond butter for another nut butter if you prefer, e.g. cashew butter or peanut butter.
