Banana Milk

Banana Milk is smooth and creamy and works well as either a drink by itself or as a base for shakes and smoothies. With only 3 simple ingredients and almost no cleanup, this Banana Almond Milk will be on your regular playlist of recipes!

This is really one of the easiest recipes; there’s no preparation of ingredients required, everything goes into a blender, and cleanup is minimal. Banana Almond Milk is the perfect drink to make in the morning if you’re in a rush because it comes together so quickly!

Recipe

• Banana – I use frozen banana because it makes the milk nice and cold; it also produces creamier, frothier banana milk.
• Almond milk – You can also use coconut milk or oat milk.
• Water – Water thins out the milk so it doesn’t turn into a shake.

How to Make Banana Milk

1. Blend all ingredients. Add banana, non-dairy milk, and water to a blender; blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Serve immediately. Or, store for up to 3 days in an sealed mason jar.

Storing Suggestions

Banana Milk should really be consumed the day it’s made and, being such a simple recipe, there’s really no reason to make it in bulk. However, it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days if sealed in a mason jar.

Recipe Tips

• Use ripe bananas if you want your milk to be sweeter.
• Freeze bananas by cutting them into small pieces, and storing them in the freezer in a freezer bag. Frozen bananas will not only make your milk colder but creamier.
• For thicker milk, you replace the water in this recipe with an equal amount of almond milk or other plant-based milk of your choosing.

Recipe Variations

• Turn it into a Korean Banana Milk. The Korean version is a similar recipe but includes maple syrup and vanilla extract; add a tablespoon of maple syrup and a quarter teaspoon of vanilla.
• Sweeten it up. You can sweeten your milk up by adding either dates, maple syrup, raw sugar, or agave to the recipe.
• Spice it up. Add some cinnamon or pumpkin spice for an added richness of flavor.
• Chia seeds. Enhance the nutritional value of your milk by adding some chia seeds. Chia seeds are also great for curbing appetite which will help turn this drink into more of a meal replacement.

What Else Can I Use Banana Milk For?

It’s great just by itself. However, I also use it as a base for many shake and smoothie recipes. For example, you can use it as a base for either a Matcha Smoothie or a Blueberry Spinach Smoothie.
