Equipment

  • Blender
  • Stand mixer (optional, for whipped topping)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ice
  • 1 ½ cups milk we used soy milk
  • 1 ¼ cups raw pecans soaked and drained
  • 2 frozen bananas
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon flax meal
  • ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Aquafaba Topping (Optional - Not Included in Nutrition Facts)

  • 4 tablespoons aquafaba
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract add more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar add more to taste, or substitute with sweetener of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Combine pecans, bananas, flax meal, and soy milk in blender and blend until smooth. You will have very small pieces of pecans that add golden flecks to the liquid.
    1 ¼ cups raw pecans, 2 frozen bananas, 1 tablespoon flax meal, 1 ½ cups milk
  • Add maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Blend again to incorporate.
    ¼ cup pure maple syrup, ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Add ice and blend until you reach desired consistency. If needed, thin with more milk or water.
    2 cups ice

Aquafaba Topping (Optional)

  • Add aquafaba, sugar, and vanilla extract to bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on high for several minutes, or until the aquafaba reaches stiff peaks. Add more sugar, if desired.
    4 tablespoons aquafaba, 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Add a large dollop to smoothies and sprinkle with spice of your choice, if desired.

Notes

  • Use the milk of your choice.
  • Add sweetener of your choice if maple syrup is not available. Though Truvia and granulated sugar work well, add a few teaspoons at a time to ensure you reach the desired sweetness level.
