This morning I made a wonderful recipe inspired by the lovely Joanna, of one of my favorite blogs Promoting the Raw Food Diet while De-bunking the Myths.
Click here for the Cinnamon Roll Smoothie recipe
another broken recipe link above...so sorry here is the recipe: Ingredients: - 2 cups Brazil nut milk (blend 2/3 c. Brazil nuts and a little vanilla bean with 2 cups water and 2 T agave nectar. Strain.) - 1 piece vanilla bean (about 1 inch) - 2 T agave nectar - 1 t cinnamon - 3 small frozen bananas - Dark syrup such as agave nectar or yacon syrup. Directions: - Blend all the ingredients together except for the dark syrup, which you will use to drizzle the inside of the smoothie glasses (optional but pretty!) - Pour the liquid into the decorated glasses, and sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top.
I took a little short-cut, and simply put the frozen bananas, a few Brazil nuts, cinnamon, vanilla bean, and a little water in the blender all at once:)
I drizzled some yacon syrup in the glass to decorate, as Joanna did. Next time, I want to try a swirl on the top:) I thought this looked so pretty when I first saw her post, I knew I would have to make it:)
Thank you so much, Joanna, for this wonderful recipe! It really does have all the yummy flavor of cinnamon rolls:)

Beautiful!! Eating at your house is a feast for eyes as well as the palate! =)
Be careful shoveling that snow and make sure you bundle up. (That's my good mother advice for the day) ;-)

We love yacon syrup...we just drizzle it on top. But drizzling up the cup looks pretty!
Oh, wow. That is a gorgeous smoothie and it sounds SO good!!!
I'd have to find a replacement for agave, though. Hmm...

i just made a half version of this. it was sooo good! of course i took some shortcuts too, like ice instead of frozen nanners. raw food quick and easy!
i love when bloggers make each others recipes then blog about it. mmmm!
Mmm! That sounds really yummy! I've been wanting to try yacon...and this is great inspiration. It's on my list ;)
Yum yum in the tum tum! Your presentation is always so gorgeous, you must have such patience. :)
Thank you so much for the wonderful comments, everyone:)
~HiHoRosie~The empty glass looked pretty, too! The syrup made squiggly lines all down the sides, and I almost took a pic!!!
Joanna, Thank YOU!!!
kelli, HippieMom, Pam, Pure2raw twins:), Leslie(LMN), Michal...You are all so sweet!
Julie, TY for the good mother advice...I did as you suggested:)
Michele|aka Raw Juice Girl...You could try some date syrup I think:)
I haven't been able to figure out that pingback thing on blogger yet, but I was just so happy using my straw for the first time and wanted everyone to have a chance to get some:)
