Rich and creamy, with ripe banana, a mild nutty depth and a soft caramel note from the date.
This is a plant-based take on a banana milkshake. Cashew nuts are soft and slightly sweet, so they blend smoothly and give the drink a rich, nutty body. Nuts contribute protein and mostly unsaturated fats, which makes the smoothie fairly filling. The date adds natural sweetness with a hint of caramel, and almond drink keeps it dairy free. It works as breakfast, a snack after sport or a light dessert.
