Ingredients
Shake Ingredients
- 4 frozen bananas (about 4 cups)
- 2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk (or more as needed to blend)
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves (or a few drops of mint extract)
Instructions
- Note About Yield: This recipe makes enough for 2-3 large glasses or several small cups. For individual servings, use 1 to 1 ½ frozen bananas, ½ to 1 cup of non-dairy milk, and a small handful of mint leaves.
- Prepare Ingredients: Make sure your bananas are fully frozen to achieve the creamy texture. Wash and roughly chop the fresh mint leaves if using.
- Blend: Add the frozen bananas, unsweetened non-dairy milk, and fresh mint leaves (or mint extract) to a blender.
- Adjust Flavor and Thickness: Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste the shake and add more mint if desired. If the shake is too minty, add more non-dairy milk and a few chunks of frozen banana to balance the flavor. For sweetness, optionally add a splash of maple syrup or agave and blend briefly.
- Serve Immediately: Pour into glasses and serve right away to prevent browning of the bananas. Optionally top with vegan whipped cream and a cherry for garnish.
Notes
- Bananas turn brown over time, so serve immediately after blending for best appearance and flavor.
- If serving fewer people, adjust ingredients accordingly to avoid waste.
- Use fresh mint leaves for natural flavor or a few drops of mint extract if fresh is unavailable.
- For additional sweetness, add natural sweeteners such as maple syrup or agave to taste.
- This shake is best enjoyed chilled and fresh from the blender.
