Berry Coconut Almond Smoothie image

I was inspired to work on smoothie recipes this week when I defrosted a freezer and dredged out a half-filled bag of frozen berries. There was only one place for this lump of frozen berries - a rich smoothie. The key to the drink's flavor is the cinnamon. I always strain mixed berry smoothies because I don't like the texture of the little seeds, which don't blend up.

I'm not a fan of berries. Can I use other fruits instead?

I'm allergic to almonds. Can I use a different type of nut butter instead?

I had some trouble finding unsweetened almond milk. I ended up using regular almond milk and it was still delicious.

This smoothie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or maple syrup.
