Notes
Steam then freeze cauliflower: I always steam and freeze a batch to keep on hand. It blends so much smoother and the flavor disappears.
Use a frozen banana: Freezing bananas in halves makes them blend faster and gives that thick, creamy texture without needing ice.
Don’t skip the salt: Just two pinches really bring out the cinnamon and vanilla. It makes a difference.
Make it extra creamy: I blend on high for about 45 seconds. If it’s too thick, just splash in more almond milk until it’s just right.
