The amazing thing is that the smoothie actually tastes like cinnamon buns =D Great recipe.
im having a yaer using maca but it does not see charge.
YUM! So delicious! I don’t have a high speed blender so I soaked the oats in 1/4 cup of the almond milk and soaked the dates in some water for 15-30 min. Means you have to plan ahead a bit but it helps them to process nice and smooth.
This is fabulous! I just made this smoothie for lunch and it was better than I could have imagined, especially good right now in fall. It has a perfect creamy texture, and the nutty-oaty flavor makes for a great complement to the cinnamon. Great job, I will definitely be making this more often! ♥
Thanks for the great feedback, Kassy!
