Ingredients
Makes 1 serve
1 banana (roughly chopped)
3 pitted dates
1 teaspoon almond butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon yoghurt
Vegan & dairy free option: use almond milk and omit the yoghurt.
Note: To make the almond butter – place 1 cup of raw almonds onto a baking tray and roast at 180°C for around 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the almonds into a food processor. Blitz the almonds, occasionally scraping down the sides, until a smooth paste is formed – this should take about 5 minutes. Place into a jar and keep refrigerated
Method
1. Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth and well combined.
