Ingredients
- 2 whole bananas, ripe and frozen
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Before starting, ensure your bananas are peeled, cut into chunks, and frozen solid. This is critical for achieving a creamy texture.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. This helps to soften them and makes them easier to blend.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen bananas, almond milk, soaked cashews, coconut yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
Step 4
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if necessary.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding more maple syrup.
Step 6
Pour the smoothie base into serving glasses. If you wish to flavor it further, add fruits or other ingredients of your choice and blend again briefly.
Step 7
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours if needed. Enjoy your creamy vegan smoothie base as is or as a versatile start to countless smoothie variations.
