Description
A creamy and uplifting maca smoothie that blends banana and almond butter with subtle malted notes, perfect for a nourishing breakfast or mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons (about 14 g) maca powder
- 1 medium banana (ripe; about 118 g)
- 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon (about 16 g) almond butter
- 1 tablespoon (about 20 g) maple syrup — optional, to taste
- Ice cubes — to taste for a chilled smoothie
Instructions
- Add the maca powder, banana, almond milk, almond butter, and maple syrup (if using) to a blender.
- Add ice cubes based on your preferred temperature and thickness — 4–6 medium cubes is a good starting point.
- Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds depending on your blender.
- Taste and adjust: more maple or a pinch of cinnamon for sweetness and warmth; more milk if it’s too thick.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana or add more ice. Adjust flavors by adding more sweetener or spices as needed.
