Instead of using ice cubes in this recipe I just threw in some frozen
banana chunks instead. We regularly have
frozen bananas in our freezer because it is such a great addition to smoothies
and I don't need to add ice cubes to them.
This is very, very good! You do
have to blend the milk with the nuts first so that the nuts get as blended as
possible, otherwise you are going to have quite a chunky smoothie.
4 ice cubes
1 cup low-fat milk (1%) or nondairy beverage
1/4 cup hazelnuts, almonds or cashews
1 medium ripe banana, sliced
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 1/2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch ground cinnamon
1 cup low-fat milk (1%) or nondairy beverage
1/4 cup hazelnuts, almonds or cashews
1 medium ripe banana, sliced
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 1/2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch ground cinnamon
Crush ice cubes in blender; transfer to small bowl. Blend
milk and hazelnuts until very smooth. Add banana, instant coffee, brown sugar,
vanilla and crushed ice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Serve sprinkled with
cinnamon.
