Banana Milk Ingredients
You only need four ingredients for this recipe: milk, bananas, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract.
How to make Banana Milk
Recipes don’t get any easier than this. Simply add the milk, banana, cinnamon, and vanilla to a blender and blend until a smooth consistency. Then, serve promptly. You can split the recipe in half and make it just for one or double it for four.
Recipe Tips
- The riper the banana, the sweeter the milk, and the greater the banana flavor, so use up those old ones sitting on the counter with brown spots.
- For best results, use ice-cold milk.
- Whole milk tastes the best with this, but you can use 2% or skim milk. Almond milk, soy milk, goat milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, or oat milk are all great dairy-free options.
- This delicious milk needs no added sugar, but use just a touch of maple syrup or honey if you must.
- For a thicker ice-cold milk treat, freeze the banana chunks for about 2 hours.
- Feel free to add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder. Or a sprinkle of chia seeds, flax seeds, or a dash of cinnamon.
Storage
This is best served as soon as it is blended to avoid separation. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Shake well before serving.
