Dr. Oz Cinnamon Rolls for Breakfast Smoothie Recipe is truly a great substitute for the real thing. You can have some fun with it by serving it up for breakfast or as dessert or even a snack under the alias “cinnamon roll milkshake.” Your kids will never question that it isn’t a real dessert treat. Just omit the protein powder and use half almond milk, half ice cubes made from filtered water for the kid’s milkshake version. You can also serve it at parties, as a great alternative to sugar-laden treats on the dessert table or as an option for diabetics. Pour into tall glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or serve in cocktail cups with a cinnamon stick placed longways into the drink. Use a high powered blender for easy blending, we recommend the Vitamix or Blendttec blenders.
