All the flavors of a sweet and tender cinnamon roll in an easy to make protein smoothie.
I love cinnamon rolls - in fact in my days before Trim Healthy Mama I would make them fairly often. There's just something about the sweet warm cinnamon flavor that I love!
I still love that flavor, and thankfully I was able to recreate it in this simple protein smoothie. This smoothie clocks in at 26 grams of protein, so it makes a nice snack or light meal, and it keeps me full for several hours.
The bonus for me in this recipe is that it is an "E" fuel, meaning it is low in fat and contains healthy carbs. I don't have enough E's in my life, so I gladly welcome this recipe!
Cinnamon Roll Protein Smoothie {THM-E, Sugar Free, Low Fat}
- ¼ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup low fat cottage cheese
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Gentle Sweet
- 1 tablespoon Collagen Hydrolysate or Integral Collagen
- 1 tablespoon Pristine Whey Protein Powder
- Dash vanilla
- ½ frozen banana
- ⅔ cup ice
- Place all ingredients in your blender and blend until smooth.
- Top with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Notes:
- I used my Ninja single serve blender for this, and I didn't have room for the full ⅔ cup of ice. I blended some, then put the remaining ice in and blended again. If you have a larger blender you should be able to do it all at once.
- You can substitute whatever on-plan sweetener you want in place of the Gentle Sweet - just sweeten to taste.

I like cinnamon rolls, too. You know that I have never had a cinnabon cinnamon roll before? I just knew they would be dangerous! Lol. This smoothie sounds really good and although it is way too high in carbs for me, my children would go crazy for it.

My 18 month old loves it!

Cinnamon rolls are one of my favorite things ever. I can't wait to try this smoothie!
dsdjhardy
I know, right? Cinnamon roll flavor is amazing!
Donna
Oh my goodness--this is so super yummy--tastes exactly like a cinnamon roll (i omitted the sweetners and it was still sweet and yummy).
dsdjhardy
Wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I have a hard time with E. I would like to have this smoothie with a meal but do not want to go over the carbs limit. Could you give some suggestion please?
Thank you.
dsdjhardy
If I were going to have this with a meal, I would probably pair it with something neutral, like cottage cheese and berries, cottage whip, or Greek yogurt with strawberry sauce. 🙂
MD
Ha! You gave me an idea! Thank you

How many carbs are in this? I can't seem to locate the nutrition info, although I'm sure it is right in front of my face. Thank you! 🙂

Hi Shannon! I don't have macros listed on my recipes yet.

This looks great! I am a week into Keto, so I would sub out the oats for hemp seed/chia seeds mixed, and sub the banana for banana flavoring. I can't wait to try it!
Patty
How much banana extract do you use in place of the banana.
Kari
Made this morning! Cannot believe how much it tastes like a cinnamon roll! Delicious!
Made it again for my daughter when she got up! It's a keeper! Thank you!!
Sarah Hardy
So glad you liked it!!

Are you supposed to cook the 1/4 cup of Old Fashioned Oats before putting it into the blender? I didn't cook it and the consistency is a little off. Thanks.
Sarah Hardy
No, I use raw oats. 🙂
Nancy
I don't have the collagen yet. Can I sub something else?
Sarah Hardy
You can use protein powder, or just omit it.

Winner!! My 17 yr son (plays football and wrestling) loved it! I had to add a little bit more sweetener. It kills me when he comes into the kitchen and makes cereal or pizza. This was so easy and fast (especially compared to other approved THM smoothies) Thank you!!
Sarita
This did not let me down! Your blog is a go-to for me whenever i am preparing THM meals, snacks and drinks. Thank you so much for helping me on my journey!
Dayna
I don’t know how you do it, but flavor was spot on! All 3 of my boys (2 to 10) also loved it! I had to pry my breakfast away and hide in another room to eat it! Lol thanks for a great quick e shake!!
Patsy
Don't like cinnamon rolls? Me neither. Yuck. No problem! This breakfast smoothie is delicious! Thank my Montana! You never disappoint!
