06 - 3 cups (720 ml) whole or plant-based milk
07 - 1–2 medium overripe bananas, finely cubed (optional, for added texture)

# Instructions:

01 - Peel and slice 3 medium overripe bananas. Place the slices into a large mixing bowl or heat-resistant liquid measuring jug.

04 - Transfer the blended banana milk base to a large beverage container. Pour in 3 cups milk and mix thoroughly with a spoon.
05 - If using, stir in the reserved cubed bananas to introduce texture.

02 - Banana milk can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
03 - Leftover condensed milk should be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
04 - Banana milk pairs well with cereal, blended into smoothies, or poured over oatmeal.
05 - To make using a blender, combine all ingredients except cubed bananas and blend until silky; add cubed bananas after blending and stir gently.
