CINNAMON TOAST SMOOTHIE RECIPE

For a quick smoothie that will satisfy any sweet tooth, this cinnamon toast smoothie recipe will work well as a breakfast, light lunch or dessert drink.

True to its name, it does remind you of cinnamon toast crunch – the (favorite unhealthy!) cereal kids and adults love!

This version however, is GUILT-FREE!

For those of you that have a hard time downing green drinks, you can amp up the nutrients by adding 2 cups of spinach or a kale leaf or two.

It won’t be very cinnamon toast looking, but it’ll taste the same! Use a high speed blender, like a Blendtec or Vitamix for the best consistency.
