Banana milk is one of my favourite homemade milk alternatives, right up there with Cashew Milk, Oat Milk, and Almond Milk. I like to use it when I want a change of pace or don’t have time to make other, more involved milk recipes, but if you have a nut allergy and are dairy-free, banana milk could be a game-changer for you!

Although banana milk isn’t technically milk, it looks like milk, tastes like other plant-based milks (with a hint of banana, of course), and it can be used just like milk in many recipes. I even like to use it in my coffee and Iced Matcha Lattes.

Notes on Ingredients

Please note that this is important information on the ingredients and instructions and the FULL recipe with amounts and details can be found DOWN BELOW (scroll to it) in the recipe card.

• Banana – Use a ripe (or over-ripe) banana for more sweetness and banana flavour. If you’re not a fan of bananas, use an under-ripe banana, which will give you a more neutral-flavoured banana milk.
• Cold water – I recommend using filtered water.

Optional Add-Ins

• Nutmeg
• Cinnamon
• Vanilla extract
• Turmeric (like my Pumpkin Spice Golden Milk!)
• Maple syrup

How to Make Banana Milk

Here’s how easy it is to make your own banana milk!

Blend. Place the banana and water in a blender and blend until the mixture is completely smooth, with no lumps. 

Adjust. If you want thicker banana milk, add more bananas, or a frozen banana. For thinner milk, add more water.

How to Store

I recommend making this fresh whenever you need itd. If you do have some banana milk leftover, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Can You Freeze This Recipe?

Again, banana milk is best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze it for up to 2 months and then let it thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
