Chef’s Notes 

  • Breaking the banana into pieces makes it easier to blend. 
  • When freezing ripe bananas, peel first. 
  • Be sure to buy a brand of almond butter that has no added sugars. 
  • Create your own versions by adding unsweetened soy milk to make it creamier or other unsweetened alternative milk. 
  • Allergic to nuts? Try sunflower seed butter. 
  • Tired of vanilla? Replace it with cinnamon.
