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

Preparation Tips
- For best results, use ice-cold milk.
