This creamy, sweet festive drink is pure holiday comfort. Your family won't believe it's dairy-free and actually good for you!
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 cups Almond Cream*, unsweetened 1/2 cup date paste (dates blended with a little water) 2 Tbsp grade B maple syrup 2 frozen bananas 2 tsp flax seed oil (*optional) 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp nutmeg plus additional for sprinkling 1/4 tsp cinnamon
In this remarkably multifaceted drink, a few teensy slivers of jalapeno transform what would be a tasty but ho-hum strawberry margarita into a modern classic. And while you're sipping, try this trick: Concentrate on the taste of each individual ingredient, and you will be able to transport the jalapeno from the merest suggestion of heat to center stage.
2 organic strawberries, hulled
4 slivers peeled and seeded organic jalapeno chile
