Banana Milk Recipe – A Simple, Creamy, Plant-Based Drink

Banana milk is one of those drinks that’s simple to make, naturally sweet, and nourishing at the same time. Whether you need something light to hydrate you after a workout, or a creamy snack that holds you over, this recipe has you covered.

Why Banana Milk?

Bananas are packed with potassium, magnesium, and natural sugars that support energy and hydration. Blending them with water or coconut water creates a naturally creamy base—no dairy, no store-bought plant milks required.

When you add in hemp seeds, dates, and a touch of spice like cinnamon or vanilla, you get a nutrient-dense drink that feels indulgent while staying light on your body.

🍶 Banana Milk Recipe (1-2 Servings)

Ingredients:

• 5 ripe baby bananas (frozen for creaminess)

• 2 cups of date water (dates soaked in spring water)

• 2 Medjool dates, pitted

• 1–2 tbsp hemp seeds

• ½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon (optional)

• ½ tsp ground vanilla or fresh vanilla bean (optional)

• Pinch of sea salt

Method:

1. Add bananas, date water, and all remaining ingredients into a high-speed blender (or the smoothie strainer on your juicer if you have one).

2. Blend until smooth and frothy.

3. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as needed.

4. Serve chilled and enjoy. Top with a sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon, nutmeg or banana slices if you’d like.

Variations You’ll Love

Nutty Banana Milk: Use walnuts, almonds, or Brazil nuts instead of hemp seeds. Soak nuts beforehand for a smoother blend.

Spiced Banana Milk: Add nutmeg or ginger for a warming kick.

Cacao Banana Milk: Add 1 tbsp raw cacao powder for a chocolate version.

Tips for Freshness

If you want to prep ahead, store banana milk in an airtight glass jar in the fridge. For best taste and nutrition, drink within 2 days.

If you’re serious about preserving the freshness of your juices, nut milks, or smoothies, I highly recommend using a vacuum-sealing system. I use the PURE MVP mason jar vacuum system to keep flavor locked in and nutrients protected for days.
