I made it with 25 calorie per cup cashew milk, and they taste great! No sugar was needed, the natural sweetness of the bananas did the trick.

Lessened the suger a little, but other than that it made for a great dessert for us, kids especially since they love bananas. Will make again. Made for PRMR Tag.

Yummy!! I love frozen bananas!! Didn't add very much sugar as my bananas were REALLY ripe (like almost ready for banana bread!). Next time, I might add in a little PB or mix in some mini chocolate chips!
