Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

1. Start with the Milk: Pour the oat milk (or milk of choice) into your blender first. This helps create a smoother blending experience for all the other ingredients.
2. Add the Nut Butter: Scoop in the creamy, dreamy East Wind nut butter of your choice. Whether you’re using almond, cashew, or peanut butter, this nut butter is the key to giving your smoothie a rich, nutty flavor.
3. Frozen Bananas: Add the frozen bananas to the blender. Not only will bananas naturally sweeten your smoothie, but they also contribute to the creamy texture that makes your smoothie irresistible.
4. Optional Avocado: For an extra layer of creaminess and healthy fats, add a frozen half avocado. This will give your smoothie an ultra-smooth texture, almost like a milkshake but with all the goodness of fruits and healthy fats.
5. Sweeten It: If you like your smoothies on the sweeter side, drizzle in a tablespoon of honey or your favorite sweetener. This will complement the nutty flavor of the East Wind nut butter and make your smoothie feel indulgent, yet healthy.
6. Blend It All Together: Once everything is added, blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the mixture seems too thick, simply add more oat milk (or any milk) to reach your desired consistency. If it’s not thick enough, you can always add more frozen bananas or avocado.
7. Pour and Enjoy: Once you’ve reached your ideal texture, pour the smoothie into a glass, grab a straw, and enjoy the smooth, nutty goodness that East Wind nut butter brings to your cup.
