Enchanted Almond Frappe

Allergens

Tree nuts (almonds)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups raw almonds, soaked overnight
• 3 cups water
• 1/2 cup agave nectar
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 4 ripe bananas
• 2 cups ice cubes

Instructions

1. Drain and rinse the soaked almonds. Combine them with water in a high speed blender and blend until smooth, creamy, and thick.
2. Strain the almond milk through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.
3. To the pitcher, add agave nectar and almond extract. Stir until well combined.
4. Peel and break bananas into chunks. Add them to the blender along with half of the ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy.
5. Pour the blended banana mixture into the pitcher with the almond milk mixture, stirring gently to combine.
6. Fill 6 elegant glasses with remaining ice cubes. Pour the enchanted frappe over the ice and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a dash of cinnamon.
