Notes
- Use your preferred type of milk to suit dietary needs or flavor preferences.
- The banana can be swapped with Greek yogurt for a thicker texture or creamier taste.
- Almond or cashew butter adds healthy fats and richness but can be omitted for a lighter shake.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste; more cinnamon intensifies the signature flavor.
- Use a sweetener that fits your diet, such as honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute.
- Consumable immediately to enjoy optimal texture and flavor; leftovers can be refrigerated but may thicken.
