Update! Pure, organic, molasses-spiked brown sugar adds depth and special sweetness to these un-caramelized banana smoothies. And the addition of vanilla and nutmeg heightens the warm flavor.
The recipe was originally shared with us by Almond Dream, when they improved the formula of their Original and Unsweetened almond milks back in 2011. Since then, many versions of Almond Dream have come and gone, but the timeless Unsweeteneed Almond Dream Milk Beverage.
Don’t worry if you can’t do nuts. This simple smoothie is delicious with almost any type of unsweetened or plain milk beverage, like Oat Dream (more details here) or Rice Dream.
