Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk or any preferred plant-based milk
- 2 whole Frozen Bananas peeled and sliced before freezing for easier blending
- 1 tbsp Blackstrap Molasses provides a deep, earthy sweetness and iron
- 1 tsp Fresh Ginger peeled and finely grated for a spicy kick
- 0.5 tsp Ground Cinnamon high quality Ceylon cinnamon recommended
- 0.25 tsp Ground Nutmeg freshly grated if possible
- 1 tbsp Almond Butter adds creaminess and healthy fats
- 2 whole Medjool Dates pitted; adds a caramel-like sweetness
- 1 pinch Sea Salt to balance the spice and sweetness
Notes
For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla pea protein powder. To make this ahead of time, blend everything except the ice and store in a glass jar for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking. If you prefer a less spicy flavor, reduce the fresh ginger to 1/2 teaspoon.
