Ingredients Notes and Substitutions
- 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.
- Bananas: 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.
- Spices: ground cinnamon and maybe a pinch of nutmeg
- Vanilla extract: use the pure stuff, please
How to make Banana Milk
Recipes don’t get any easier than this. Add the milk, banana, cinnamon, and vanilla to a blender and blend until smooth. Then, serve promptly. You can split the recipe in half and make it just for one or double it for four.
Preparation Tips
- For best results, use ice-cold milk.
- This delicious milk does not need added sugar; if you must, use just a touch of maple syrup or honey.
