I am so glad I made this for one serving or I would have enjoyed all four servings. I used coconut water, skipped the oil being there is plenty of fat in the recipe. I also skipped the salt. Thanks Sharon!!! Made for FEBRUARY'S SUN and SPICE EVENT

Interesting. It tastes good, DD (toddler) enjoyed it as well. I used chilled spring water, unblanched almonds but they did not get completely smooth in my blender, soft Iranian dates, roasted tahini as that is what I had on hand, no oil as I didn't have either kind, I did use carob syrup from a Middle Eastern store because I didn't have the powder on hand. I used unpasturised local honey plus the frozen bananas. I may make this again when craving something sweet but pretty healthy. Made for Veggie Swap 26 ~ September 2010.
