In advance: Add the Florida Orange Juice, zest, cashews, and vanilla to a jar, seal, and refrigerate at least 8 hours (or overnight). Peel, slice, and freeze bananas at least 8 hours (or overnight).
Add all the cashew-orange mixture from the jar along with the frozen banana slices and, if using, pinch of salt to a food processor. Cover and blend until velvety smooth, thick, and creamy.
