Begin by soaking the almonds in water overnight or for at least 8 hours. This softens them and makes them easier to blend.
Once soaked, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly under cold water.
In a blender, combine the soaked almonds with 3 cups of fresh water. Blend on high for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and milky.
Strain the almond milk through a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl. Squeeze or press out as much liquid as possible. Discard the almond pulp or save it for another use.
Rinse the blender, then pour the fresh almond milk back into the blender.
Peel the bananas and add them to the blender with the almond milk.
Add the vanilla extract, sea salt, and ground cinnamon to the blender.
Blend on high until the banana mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the banana milk and adjust seasoning if desired.
Pour the creamy banana milk into glasses and serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers and consume within 2 days, shaking well before each use.
