Featuring creamy, nutritious bananas and natural caramel-like flavors, this delicious smoothie is truly dessert in a glass! Yet, when was the last time your sumptuous dessert contained generous amounts of fiber, vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9 & C) and minerals (selenium, potassium, copper and magnesium)? To top it off, this recipe is very quick to make if you have Brazil nut milk already prepared, and is both filling and satisfying!
