Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 medium Frozen banana
• 2 tablespoons Raw almonds
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Begin by gathering all necessary ingredients and check that they are prepared and measured as per the recipe.

Step 2

In a high-speed blender, combine 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk with 1 medium frozen banana. The banana will add natural sweetness and a creamy texture to the milkshake.

Step 3

Add 2 tablespoons of raw almonds to the blender. Almonds are rich in healthy fats and contribute to the heart-healthy nature of this milkshake.

Step 4

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids and essential for heart health.

Step 5

Pour in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for an aromatic flavor that complements coconut and banana.

Step 6

Add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup for a hint of natural sweetness without overwhelming the flavors.

Step 7

Place 4 ice cubes into the blender to give the milkshake a chilled, refreshing quality.

Step 8

Sprinkle in 0.25 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, adding a warm spice that enhances the overall taste.

Step 9

Blend all the ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Taste the milkshake and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding a little more maple syrup if desired.

Step 11

Pour the milkshake into two glasses, and serve immediately to enjoy its rich, creamy texture while cold.
