:) I'm sure most of you veterans have this recipe but just thought I'd share it anyway. It is from Jennifer Cornbleet's "Raw Food Made Easy" book. Am I allowed to use her name and book? Yes, I think so. (Lousy memory!) It didn't make near enough so next time I will double or even triple it.
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup almond milk
1 1/2 tsp. pure maple syrup or agave nectar (I used agave)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Allow the banana to thaw for 5 minutes then Blend with the rest of the ingredients in vitamix 'til smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.
Variations: For chocolate shake: Add 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa or carob powder, and increase the maple syrup to 2 tsps.
For strawberry shake: Omit the vanilla and add 1 cup fresh or
frozen strawberries (about 6). If using frozen strawberries, do not thaw or drain.
