Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons raw almonds
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Begin by gathering all ingredients: a ripe banana, water, raw almonds, vanilla extract, and any optional add-ins like maple syrup or cinnamon.
2. If you have time, soak the raw almonds in warm water for 2-4 hours to soften them, improving texture and flavor. If you’re short on time, you can skip this step.
3. Peel the ripe banana and break it into chunks. Place it in a high-speed blender.
4. Add the water, raw almonds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the blender. If using maple syrup or cinnamon, add them now as well.
5. Blend everything on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
6. Taste the banana milk and adjust sweetness or spice levels if needed. Blend again briefly if adding more ingredients.
7. For an ultra-smooth texture, pour the banana milk through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag. This step is optional but great for those who prefer no almond bits in their drink.
8. Serve immediately in a glass or use in recipes. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake well before use!
