Blending:
In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana, peanut butter, vegan protein powder, almond milk, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
Customizing Sweetness:
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a small amount of Stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Both are diabetic-friendly and do not impact blood sugar levels.
Ice & Consistency:
Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high until the smoothie reaches your desired consistency. Add more almond milk if it's too thick.
