Spiced Almond Milk


This is the perfect little treat for the end of a cold day. The combination of almond milk and warming digestive spices balances your blood sugar and stabilizes your metabolism. The extra protein boost from the almond butter helps curb hunger pains. Serves 1

This recipe comes from Simple Green Smoothies Blog

 

ingredients
1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
A pinch of ground ginger
A pinch of cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon almond butter


directions
1. Combine all ingredients in a small pan.
2. Heat on the stove over medium heat until warm.*
3. Pour into a mug.

*Pro tip: After heating the ingredients on the stove, pour the mixture into the blender and run it for about 30 seconds (leave a little hole in the lid for the steam to escape). This makes sure everything is mixed super well, and adds a bit of froth to make you feel like you just got served at your favorite coffee shop!
