A little bit more ....

I love this recipe as it is a great way of using up the tail ends of bananas that get left around the house by my kids. I just pop any chunks of bananas in a freezer bag to store for using in smoothies. They add a creaminess but be aware that they make blending very noisy !!

N.B. There are a wide variety nut and plant-based milks readily available to buy at most supermarkets nowadays. Coconut, hazelnut, almond, oat, hemp seed and more to choose from.
