Hot Chocolate Smoothie - Accidental pudding
When the recipe came out it wasn't cold in FL. Months later when I wanted to try it, I did it from memory;-) I used almond milk instead of water. I used an electric hand blender in the pot and poured it into a mug. After I cleaned up the pot and blender, I went to drink the smoothie. It didn't pour out of the mug! It was not hot, but warm and set up like a soft set pudding. I liked it! I have done the same with soy milk. Setting up seems to depend on the size of the banana. With a smaller banana, it doesn't set up as well. I don't know how it would be cold. I always eat it warm.
