Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup non-dairy milk or water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (recommended)
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup (recommended)
- 2 tbsp coconut cream
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp nut butter
Instructions
- Add ingredients to blender: Place the banana and the non-dairy milk or water into a high-speed blender.
- Process until smooth: Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is completely smooth, about 1 minute. If the mixture is too thick, add more water to reach your preferred consistency.
- Add optional ingredients: If desired, add vanilla extract, maple syrup, coconut cream, cinnamon, and nut butter to enhance flavor and richness, then blend again until fully combined.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour the banana milk into glasses and enjoy immediately either as a refreshing drink, poured over cereal, or used as the base of a smoothie.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness; frozen bananas can be used to achieve a thicker, colder texture.
- Non-dairy milks such as almond, oat, or soy milk are recommended but water can be used for a lighter version.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Coconut cream adds extra creaminess and richness but can be omitted for a lighter drink.
- Feel free to experiment with different nut butters like almond, peanut, or cashew butter.
