Let's cook.

01

Blend fruits and nuts

Start by peeling the bananas and tossing them into your blender along with the pineapple chunks. Add a good spoonful of cashew butter and a handful of walnuts for some nice texture and flavor. Pour in some water to help everything blend smoothly. Give it a whirl until the mixture is nice and creamy. If it feels too thick, just add a little more water and blend again until it reaches the consistency you like. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
- Toast the walnuts lightly to enhance their flavor before blending.
- If you prefer a thinner texture, add a little more milk or water.
