Vegan Cinnamon Bun Smoothie

Craving cinnamon buns this season? I know I am. Every single year my mom makes fresh homemade cinnamon buns for christmas morning breakfast. They are sooo good. I usually eat like 5 of them, because let's face it, Christmas only comes once a year. Now that it is officially Christmas season, I began craving cinnamon in everything, especially cinnamon buns. But, I discovered a healthy way to deal with my craving through this smoothie recipe. Oh yeah, and its VEGAN. Now I get to satisfy my craving of cinnamon in a much more figure friendly way...until Christmas morning when I am all out splurging on those cinnamon buns :)

I found this recipe on Pop Sugar Fitness. I thought it tasted too much like banana at first but the after taste is very cinnamony and definitely fulfilled my sweet tooth craving for cinnamon buns.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 frozen banana, cut into four pieces (I didn't use a frozen one, regular works fine)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup (I didn't have maple syrup so substituted agave nectar instead)
Cinnamon stick, for garnish

Directions:

• Combine all ingredients into a blender. Pour into a tall glass. Finish with a cinnamon stick for a garnish (if you want some extra pizazz)

Definitely a nice health desert to have during holiday season. Give it a try and enjoy :)
