    Why You'll Love This Nut Smoothie

    • It's packed with nutrients to boost energy and digestive health.
    • It's creamy and has a delicious nutty flavor.
    • It's a great breakfast or post-workout smoothie, ready in 5 minutes.

    Ingredients & Notes

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Ingredients to make a seed and nut smoothie displayed on a table.
    • Hazelnuts: Raw hazelnuts make the drink super creamy, support a healthy bowel movement, and add amazing flavor!
    • Flax seeds & Sunflower seeds: They add healthy fats and fiber and give you plenty of energy. 
    • Green banana: Choose a green banana to obtain an extra creamy consistency. They are full of nutrients and rich in resistant starch, yet have a lower sweetness level.
    • Nut milk: I prefer hazelnut, almond, or walnut milk.
    • Cinnamon Powder: Add just a tad for flavor.
    • Medjool date: One is enough to add a subtle sweetness and adding extra flavor to the rest of the ingredients.

    Variations

    • Use a ripe banana if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
    • Choose a frozen banana for an instant chilled banana nut smoothie.
    • Switch it up with different nuts like Brazil nuts or walnuts.
    • If preferred, use almond butter instead of nuts.
    • Add some hemp seeds to the mix.
    • Add a small amount of vanilla extract or cocoa powder instead of cinnamon powder.
    • You can add protein powder when enjoyed as a post-workout smoothie. Just make sure to add enough liquid so the nut smoothie does not become too thick.
