However, some believe the agave impacts your blood sugar differently, not as much impact. And others believe honey is a better choice because you can get it more "raw". I use both and I decide on flavor. For me honey is very distinct and I like it in certain things. Agave is sweet but doesn't have the "honey-ness" I want sometimes. :) Hope that helps!

I'm curious to know if it offers more nutritional value. BTW, this recipe sounds awesome! Thank you, Sandra Quick question Roni,

To make it really creamy and nutritious, add some meat from a young coconut (found at asian markets) If you have a Vitamix, you can make your own almond milk easy. 4-6 parts water, 1 part almonds, agave or maple syrup to sweeten.

It keeps me satisfied for a long time. If the banana is not ripe, you can add a little agave syrup for sweetness. Almond milk rocks. Thanks for the new recipe.

I was diagnosed with a dairy allergy in December. I've been buying Blue Diamond milk but haven't ventured out into making my own. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks again.
