Ingredients

Scale

Banana Milk Base

  • 3 medium overripe bananas (about 7 inches long)
  • 2/3 cup milk (dairy or plant-based such as oat or almond)
  • 12 tablespoons sugar (1 tablespoon for less sweet, 2 for sweeter)
  • 1/41/3 cup condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Additional Milk and Texture

  • 3 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 12 medium overripe bananas, finely cubed (optional, for texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bananas: Slice 3 medium overripe bananas and place them into a large bowl or measuring cup. If you prefer added texture or want to use extra bananas, finely cube 1 to 2 more bananas and set aside to add later.
  2. Make Banana Milk Base: To the sliced bananas, add 2/3 cup of milk, 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar depending on your sweetness preference, and 1/4 to 1/3 cup of condensed milk. Optionally, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend everything with an immersion blender until smooth and free of lumps. Note that if you want a less sweet drink, use 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 cup condensed milk. Adjust sugar and condensed milk based on banana ripeness.
  3. Combine and Chill: Pour the smooth banana milk base into a large container. Add 3 cups of milk and stir well to combine. If you prepared cubed bananas for texture, fold them in now. Refrigerate for a few hours to chill. For immediate serving, pour over ice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Milk alternatives like oat or almond milk work well and add different flavor notes.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar and condensed milk based on the sweetness of your bananas and personal taste.
  • Chilling the drink enhances its flavor, but it can also be served immediately over ice.
  • Optional vanilla extract adds a subtle aromatic note.
  • To add texture, include finely cubed bananas at the end.
