Cinnamon Roll Shake! (Dairy Free, Cane Sugar Free & Vegan)



I created this recipe and post and am sharing it from my website, www.laurasglutenfreepantry.com

Earlier this week as my husband and I were getting my daughter ready for school, my daughter asked me if I could make a recipe for homemade Cinnamon Rolls. With twenty minutes until we had to leave for school, I said sorry not right now.

“Pleaaaase!”, Emma begged. So I offered to make her a shake with cinnamon and flavors similar to a cinnamon roll. That did the trick. My kids are crazy for cinnamon. They call it red sugar.

The smoothie came out thick and creamy and filled everyone up until lunch time. I’ve even been asked to make it a few times already again this week. Please note this is one satisfying, nourishing and hearty smoothie filled with healthy fats and protein. If you want a lighter version of this smoothie, omit the canned coconut milk and opt for either 2 cups more almond milk or filtered water.

Enjoy!
