Never been a fan of almond butter (I know, blasphemy!) but I might try peanut butter and almond milk. THAT sounds good!

this is awesome! I switched the agave to dates, and today when I made it again I added blueberries. This might be the world's best smoothie.

Made this today and my husband said that is awsome just like a milkshake. He who hates bananas, dieting, and all things labeled raw drank it up. Will be making more soon!

Holmes~

I made it again today too! Love it. So simple, easy to drink and satisfying. And easy to get creative with, as you clearly did! So glad it banished your straw-banana boredom. I know the feeling!

I've now made this smoothie 3 days in a row - it's a keeper! (Guess I'm a creature of habit!) This morning I added a little bit of coconut milk (I had leftover in the fridge) and I love it both ways. I've also added a bit of water and put in some protein powder. But yes, I did use the apple cider vinegar and it gives it a little something special.

Thanks for the great recipe! My old strawberry banana blend was getting a little old..

I'm addicted to smoothies and forever looking for new ones. I cannot wait to try this one! I always have a batch of frozen bananas ready and waiting in my freezer so this is perfect! I like Trader Joe's Almond Butter - never tried Whole Foods. Will have to!

Thanks Jessica! What a great comment. I'm so glad ...

Hi Kathy,

I just whipped this up this morning and I cannot tell you how delicious it is. This is a smoothie that I would make again and again. I think it is one of your best smoothie recipes, because it has only a few ingredients that most people already have at home, yet the taste is out of this world.

I am fully energized and ready to go out for a hike now!

Warmly,

Jessica

Pattie,

Gosh, I don't know how good your food proc. is, but if it can make those almonds into buttery cream - go ahead! I know a few grinding juicers that can make nut butters, but never a food processor.

But my food processor is pretty dinky. My juicer is a SuperAngel and does make nut butter though..

Anyways, let me know if it worked out deliciously!

Nora,

The apple cider vinegar cuts the rich flavors of the milk and almonds and banana. It adds a very subtle tart edge. You really can't taste it as 'vinegar' You will just taste a better smoothie. I love adding a tinge of acv to all my smoothies that are acid-free. I don't add it to smoothies containing citrus or tart berry flavors.
