Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using frozen bananas because they make the shake super creamy without needing any dairy. You can replace almond milk with oat milk or any nut milk you prefer. And if you want to skip the dates, a splash of maple syrup can work wonders too!
Tips & Notes
- •To make this extra special, I like to drizzle some nut butter on top before serving.
- •If you want it a bit thicker, just throw in more ice or a bit less almond milk.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll throw in a tablespoon of almond butter for a protein boost.
- •You could also add a handful of spinach or kale for a nutrient kick without changing the flavor much.
Storage & Freezing
This milkshake tastes best fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a good stir or shake before enjoying again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?
You can, but it'll be a bit less creamy! If you go that route, add a handful of ice to help with texture.
