Banana milk
Ingredients
1 frozen banana
1 cup water
Method
- Banana milk is not a shelf-stable, meaning it will separate and discolor quite quickly. So only make it right before you plan to drink it or top it on your cereal.
- Slice your bananas and freeze them before blending. A high-powered blender might heat up too much as you make the milk. So frozen bananas will keep your drink cool.
- Add bananas, water and any optional ingredients (maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia or flax seeds, cinnamon or nutmeg) and blend for one minute. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Golden coconut milk
Ingredients
½ cup grated fresh coconut
1 cup water
1 teaspoon extra virgin coconut oil
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 tsp maple syrup
Method
- Grind the grated coconut along with 1 cup of water finely; add more water if you want it to be runny.
- In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk and coconut oil over medium heat. Whisk in the ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground ginger and ground black pepper. Heat until the milk is warm, whisking frequently. Do not let the milk boil.
- Slowly whisk in the maple syrup and add more if desired. Remove from heat immediately after the coconut milk is warmed and everything is whisked in and pour into a mug to serve.
Nutty strawberry date milk
Ingredients
1 cup almonds with skin
2-3 cups water
10 strawberries
2 tbsp hemp seeds
4 dates, pitted
10 cashews
Method
- Soak the almonds in two cups of water overnight. In a high-powered blender, add the almonds with the same water and all the other ingredients and blend. Add 2-3 ice cubes if you want the milk to be cool.
- Pour the nutty strawberry date milk into 3 or 4 glasses and enjoy.
