Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 3 cups water
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the almonds in water overnight or for at least 8 hours. This softens them and makes them easier to blend.
Step 2
Once soaked, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly under cold water.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Rinse the blender, then pour the fresh almond milk back into the blender.
Step 6
Peel the bananas and add them to the blender with the almond milk.
Step 7
Add the vanilla extract, sea salt, and ground cinnamon to the blender.
Step 8
Blend on high until the banana mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 9
Taste the banana milk and adjust seasoning if desired.
Step 10
Pour the creamy banana milk into glasses and serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers and consume within 2 days, shaking well before each use.
