Always keep frozen bananas in your freezer for treats like these, and any smoothies or smoothie bowls. Frozen bananas are great for a creamy texture. And while in some recipes avocado, cauliflower or sweet potato work well for texture too, we would recommend bananas for this one as it adds great flavour that goes well with the lemon juice. No need to soak the cashews, they’ll blend completely smooth and create that velvety cream cheese texture, all plant-based.
