Add liquids first: Pour the almond milk into the blender. This helps the blades catch and blend smoothly.
Layer the rest: Add blueberries, banana, almond butter, vanilla, and optional cinnamon and salt.
Sweeten to taste: Add maple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
Blend until smooth: Start on low, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds.
Scrape down the sides if needed.
Adjust texture: Add ice for a thicker, frostier finish, or more milk for a thinner sip. Blend again briefly.
Serve immediately: Pour into a cold glass. Top with a few blueberries or a drizzle of almond butter if you like.
