Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sliced frozen* zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 2 medium ripe bananas (room temperature*)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 handful baby or chopped spinach (optional)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey or agave syrup), plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Chocolate variation: 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and more maple syrup to taste (omit spinach if desired)
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini into thin half moon shapes. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for at least 2 hours.* If freezing for longer, remove the zucchini from the freezer after 1 hour and transfer to a sealed container for storage.
- Place all ingredients in a blender in the order listed. Blend until creamy and frothy, stopping and scraping down the sides as necessary, and adding a bit more liquid if necessary (start with 1/2 cup milk and add more as needed).
- Taste and if necessary, add another drizzle of maple syrup depending on the ripeness of the bananas. Serve immediately or store in a covered jar in the refrigerator for 1 day.
Notes
*If you prefer, you can use room temperature zucchini and frozen bananas.
