Aside from the sugars in the banana (I did use a ripe one), not an ounce of sugar could be found in the entire drink if you use an unsweetened "milk", yet it tasted fabulously sweet and creamy.  Okay, I added ice for a thicker frosty like shake, but it appeared quite creamy before I did this, so I can only assume.  So here is a rough approximation of my creation:

• 2/3 cup chocolate almond milk, sweetened or unsweetened
• 1 small, ripe, frozen banana
• 2 tablespoons almond butter (I loooove the creamy raw almond butter from trader joe's)
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds (I can never resist throwing these in)
• 5 sizable ice cubes (optional)

Add all to a blender, except the ice, and blend until smooth.  If desired, add one cube at a time (I use that little opening in the top so that the motor keeps running) until your perfect consistency is reached.
