1 tablespoon ground flax
-
1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)

1 pinch cardamom (optional)
-
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
Directions

Cook's Notes:
This smoothie is super adaptable to whatever ingredients you have on hand. You can use any frozen fruit you like (I personally prefer frozen wild blueberries); you can use almond butter in place of whole almonds; use any kind of yogurt or milk you prefer; and you can sweeten it with honey or maple syrup as needed.
This makes 1 very large serving and is meant to serve as a meal; however, it can easily be 2 servings if you prefer it as a snack.
You may need to adjust how you blend this smoothie if you don't have a high-speed blender.
