Fresh-baked cinnamon roll, crammed into a glass!
One of the best things about smoothies is that there really are no limits to what you can do with them. From light and fruity to rich and creamy, the variations are absolutely endless. Another great thing about them is that they’re like dessert, but much healthier.
No matter what your favorite dessert is, from a banana split to pumpkin pie, you can whip up a smoothie version of it in minutes. Throw a few things in the blender, hit the button, and boom! Dessert in a glass.
So it should come as no surprise that the latest entry in my Sunday Smoothie lineup is the Cinnamon Roll Smoothie. Basically, just imagine taking all the sweet, sticky, spicy indulgence of a fresh-baked cinnamon roll and cramming it into a glass. The only thing you can leave out is the guilt, because this Cinnamon Roll Smoothie is low-fat and packed with healthy fruit and oatmeal.
A cinnamon roll you can sip through a straw. You can’t beat that-but you can blend it.
Note: If you do not have frozen fruit to use for the smoothies, fresh fruit will work just fine. If using fresh fruit, make sure to add a handful of ice to the other ingredients before blending. The frozen fruit just adds that cold element to make an ice cold drink.

Hi Corey! I can’t have bananas but this recipe sounds so delicious. Do you know of any substitutions?
Corey says
Hmmmm. You could just try to up the yogurt and oats 🙂 Let me know how that turns out 🙂
Taka says
I think I will try partially freezing the extra yogurt I add in cubes and maybe that will make up for the thickness from the bananas.
Kristy says
Frozen avocado works great in place of bananas. Makes your smoothie extra creamy too ?
Corey says
Great idea Kristy!
April says

I can’t wait to try this. I’m a regular banana smoothie wizzer but adding the cinnamon is a great idea. Iv never had the almond milk, I usually use regular milk… Now ‘m extra excited because Iv just found an online recipe for making almond milk in my thermomix. Thanks for the prompt:)
Julie says
Would it be ok to use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Corey says
Yep! The Greek yogurt just beefs up the protein 🙂
Michelle @ Modern Acupuncture says
Tried this today and it was delicious! Thank you! 🙂
Amy says
What about adding canned pumpkin? Would that change the taste or consistency too much?
Suzanne says
Do you have calorie/nutritional information on this? Please
Terese A. Kelley says
Good morning! Wondering if you have the nutritional breakdown for this Devine Smoothie?
Corey says
I don’t Terese, because it would depend on what brand of yogurt you are using. I like to plug my recipes into My Fitness Pal to get nutritional breakdowns 🙂
