Ingredients
Base:
- 1 ripe banana fresh or frozen, see notes
- 1 cup non-dairy milk or water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract recommended
Optional Ad-Ins :
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup recommended
- 2 tbsp coconut cream
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp nut butter
Instructions
- Add the banana and water or milk to a high speed blender.
- Process until completely smooth, about 1 minute. If it's too thick for your liking, just add in more water.
- Add in any of the optional ad ins of your choice and blend again, or leave as is.
- Enjoy as a drink, over cereal or as the base of a smoothie!
Notes
You can use a fresh banana in place of frozen, but I find that the milk isn't quite as creamy this way and tends to separate somewhat as it sits.
If you forget to freeze your bananas, just use fresh, but decrease the amount of milk/water to 3/4 cup and add in a small handful of ice.
Be sure to use ripe bananas to get all the natural sweetness they offer. However, if you want it more sweet, just add in a couple of pitted dates or some honey or maple syrup.
