Even though I don't like bananas, my boys do. When I create banana recipes, I have to rely on them to give a thumbs up. This shake got a big smile from everyone!
This vegan, gluten-free, chocolate banana shake is easy to whip up and is chocolate-y enough to make a great dessert. It makes a great snack, too.
One of my favorite tips is to slice ripened bananas and freeze them on a cookie sheet. I then take the frozen slices and store them in my freezer to use in smoothies
, shakes, and even banana muffins.

Interesting twist with the apple juice Kim!
ReplyDeleteApple juice is a favorite way to sweeten our smoothies around here!
DeleteGoing to try making this today. Not even sure what sunflower seed butter is, but I'll find some! :)
ReplyDeleteJeremy, sunflower seed butter is a peanut-free alternative to peanut butter. It's really delicious, but you could use any nut butter you prefer in this shake!
DeleteKim, this sounds like a great combination. I, too, freeze banana chunks for smoothies. Like you, my husband is not a banana fan, but for some reason he doesn't mind bananas in his smoothies and even admits that they make for a much improved texture. Already have everything except the apple juice. Can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteHi Jean, I wish I was like your husband! I can taste them in anything. Luckily, I don't deprive my kids and husband from them, but this is a shake that I can easily pass up -- even when they're slurping them up :)
