Ingredients Needed
This recipe only requires four ingredients: milk, bananas, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract.
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.
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 does not need added sugar; if you must, use just a touch of maple syrup or honey.
- For a thicker ice-cold milk treat, freeze the banana chunks for about 2 hours.
Storage
This is best served as soon as it is blended to avoid separation. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving.

This is a recipe that we make quite often and one we really enjoy! We consider banana milk healthy here, but sadly my youngest cant have it because she is lactose intolerant.

Just use almond milk, or any other nut milk. Coconut milk could work probably
