Cookies for breakfast! This Snickerdoodle Fab Four has the familiar spices of cinnamon and nutmeg with a subtle nutty flavor from the walnut butter (could easily sub for almond or cashew butter, too!). It’s slightly sweet and completely guilt-free.
If you’re craving something cinnamon-y and sweet for breakfast (think cinnamon raisin bread or cinnamon rolls), this smoothie is the perfect one to satisfy the craving while still keeping your health and blood sugar in check. It’s also my favorite “holiday season” breakfast or snack to curb a sweet tooth while still feeling festive.
Let’s talk about why this smoothie works. It hits all the marks in my lightly structured Fab Four formula, which is your foolproof way to eat for optimal nourishment and blood sugar stability – protein, fat, fiber and greens:
- Protein: Be Well vanilla protein powder
- Fat: walnut butter
- Fiber and greens: flax seeds, cauliflower
Be Well protein powder is minimalistic in its formulation and made using a chemical free extraction process. Walnut butter is rich in omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Flaxseeds are high in fiber, which feeds the “healthy bugs” in the gut microbiome. And cauliflower adds another boost in fiber along with being high in vitamin c and minerals like potassium and manganese.
