Description

This is the classic creamy banana smoothie, but with enough almond to give it a deeper, more rounded character. Banana provides most of the sweetness and body, while milk keeps the texture smooth and drinkable. Almond adds a subtle roasted nuttiness without competing with the fruit. The result is thick, soft and naturally sweet, with a mellow flavour that works especially well as a simple breakfast smoothie. Using a ripe banana gives the best flavour; a frozen banana will make it colder and thicker.
