Notes
- Don't sub for fresh banana unless absolutely necessary. Frozen banana really works best.
- If you don't have frozen bananas, you may peel and slice fresh ones and freeze for 30-60 minutes. Make sure to slice them first to help them freeze faster.
- To use fresh bananas, if you really don't have the time to freeze them, add a handful of ice cubes to the smoothie as well to get similar results.
- Make sure your bananas are VERY ripe. The sweetness is all coming from your bananas here, so the riper the better. Choose bananas that have spotted brown skins before freezing.
- For a sweeter smoothie, you may add a teaspoon of pure maple syrup or 2-3 pitted dates.
- If you don't have walnuts, you may sub for almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans.
- For best results, use a high speed blender, but if you don't have one, soak your walnuts for about 10-15 minutes or so in fresh water and then drain. This will make it easier for your blender to process them, without leaving any grittiness behind.
- Makes approx 3.5 cups.
