As seen in Justin My Kitchen: Simple, Delicious Recipes in a Nutshell Maple Almond Banana Smoothie {Yield: 1 large or 2 small smoothies} Ingredients • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk • 2 bananas, frozen • 4 dates, pitted • 3 tablespoons • Justin’s® Maple Almond Butter • ½ cup old-fashioned oats • ½ cup ice (optional) Instructions Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. This is what I call heaven in a glass. If it were fine wine, we could say it has a distinct nuttiness with notes of sweet maple and date with an underlying oatiness that provides a wonderfully thick texture and mouth-feel. It’s quite the sophisticated smoothie. 21
