FAQ
Can I make this without banana?
You can! Swap the banana with a few tablespoons of canned coconut cream for similar creaminess and a tropical flair.
What if I don’t have a high-speed blender?
A food processor works great too—just be sure to scrape down the sides frequently and pulse in intervals.
Is this recipe sugar-free?
