Tips

- Room Temperature is Key: Ensure bananas and almond milk are at room temperature for optimal blending and flavor.
- Blender Power Matters: Use a high-speed blender to achieve the smoothest, most creamy consistency.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust maple syrup to taste, or use alternative sweeteners like agave or dates.
- Experiment with Spices: Try nutmeg or cardamom alongside cinnamon for unique flavor variations.
- Chill for Perfection: For an extra refreshing experience, refrigerate the milk for 30 minutes before serving.
- Storage Tip: Consume within 24 hours for the freshest taste and texture.
