    Creamy Banana Mylk

    Jan 9, 2015 • Breakfast, Drinks

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Let’s talk mylk… banana mylk…

    Mylk is the swanky way of referring to milk. Actually, spelling it with a “y” is way more fun than spelling it with an “i”. What does swanky even mean ha.

    Sometimes you run out of almond milk. Or coconut milk. Or whatever non-dairy deliciousness you love. Not everyone owns a high-speed blender either, which is basically required to make homemade nut milk. This is when you make banana mylk! The frothiest, creamiest and sweetest alternative to any milk. Packed with electrolytes, potassium, vitamin B6, manganese and fiber, this nutritious “milk” can be sipped after a workout (my favorite), poured over cereal, used in a smoothie, or frozen into healthy popsicles. 

    Banana Mylk - a healthy + sweet alternative or substitute for almond milk, coconut milk or any kind of milk. Pour over cereal, sip after a workout or freeze into popsicles!

    Mmm! Smooth, super simple, deliciously refreshing and CHEAP.

    Next time you go to grab milk or you run out of milk, consider blending up banana mylk instead. Switch things up a bit! All you need is 2 bananas + 2 cups cold water and cinnamon. In 30 seconds, you have a new foamy and delicious “milk” substitute. It will need to be enjoyed immediately as the bananas oxidize quickly and it will separate like it has in the picture above. Since it only takes 30 seconds to blend up, this is something you can easily make when in a rush to nourish and fill you up! Be sure to use ripe and spotty bananas – as these are the sweetest and are much easier to digest than green bananas.

      I LOVE this idea! I’m always paranoid that I might run out of nut/soya milk, so I usually have about 20 long-life cartons occupying the entire cupboard, hah. I want to try this anyway, it sounds delicious!

        Hahahaa I’m the same way! Like there is no way I can run out of almond milk, I wouldn’t know what to do! This recipe fixes that though, hope you enjoy 🙂

    yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority bu yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority but in that I’ve sort of lost myself.

It’s my own doing too so don’t feel bad for me 😂 because it truly never felt right to leave my girl. We are very attached. Am I crazy? Yes, probably. But I’m okay with that. I realized my baby will be FINE if I go get a professional haircut or a pampering pedicure. Idk what changed but I think it’s the fact that I’m noticing more wrinkles and my hair could use a transformation. It’s greasy, heavy and lacking life. So I’m getting a haircut this week 💇‍♀️ I’m changing to a customized hair care system AND I’m scheduling a hydra facial because my skin desperately needs hydration. My skin, hair and nervous system need some serious self care haha.

Mamas, it may not feel right just yet to prioritize you but the time will come. Just follow your intuition 🖤🖤🖤 you deserve it.

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑
