Cinnamon roll fans, rejoice! This Cinnamon Roll Smoothie is a healthy way to enjoy this delicious dessert. It's so simple to make, and you probably already have the ingredients in your pantry, just waiting to be transformed into this delicious smoothie. There's no better way to start your day than with a cinnamon roll, but they're not exactly known for their health benefits. This smoothie recipe is made with almond milk, Greek yogurt, and bananas to make it lighter but still flavorful. Give this smoothie a try on a crisp fall morning, and you'll fall in love!

From the Chef: When I'm looking to eat healthier, I'll sometimes catch myself day-dreaming about all the foods I shouldn't eat: fast food fries, triple layer chocolate cake, cheesy lasagna. Cinnamon rolls often enter my thoughts, too, which is why I can't resist this smoothie recipe. I get to satisfy my cravings without all of those extra calories.

This looks incredibly yummy. I love the flavor of cinnamon rolls (the Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll coffee for Keurig is a personal favorite) and this smoothie is something I know I'd enjoy. I think adding a bit of vanilla protein powder would be a good addition to make it even healthier. I can easily see making this to start off my morning.
