Ingredients
1/4 cup raw almonds
½ cup vanilla almond milk vanilla soy milk, or canned coconut milk
2 tbsp carob powder
¾ cup brewed and chilled Original (or a gluten-free Teeccino Dandelion blend)
A pinch of salt
½ tsp vanilla
1 frozen bananas cut into 1 to 2 chunks divided
Teeccino Original Herbal Coffee
We made this recipe with Teeccino Original, featuring bold, coffee-like taste from roasted carob, chicory, barley and ramón seeds from the Maya Biosphere Reserve. Original appeals to coffee drinkers who want purity without added natural flavors - just four organic ingredients roasted to perfection!
Place almonds, milk, carob powder, Teeccino, salt, vanilla, and approximately 1 1/2 frozen bananas in blender. (A heavy duty blender works best for this recipe; other blenders may not get the mixture smooth enough.) Blend until bananas are mostly blended.
Add remaining banana and blend until fairly smooth. Mixture will be thick; I find it blends best by alternating between cycle 1 and cycle 9 on my blender. Do not over blend or mixture will lose its frostiness.
Most smoothies are best eaten fresh, but this one can be frozen and eaten another day.
