The Nuts About Almond Butter smoothies are offered in varieties like Muscle Up Buttercup, Almond Berry Blast and Almond Mocha Jolt, each of which is packed with healthy fats and other nutritious ingredients. While the Almond Mocha Jolt combines creamy [almond butter with bananas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pip-and-nut-1), coffee, cocoa, nonfat frozen yogurt and nonfat milk, the Muscle Up Buttercup smoothie is ideal for those who are looking to power up with [29 grams of protein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almondmilk-protein-shakes).
