Can I use frozen bananas in this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen bananas! In fact, frozen bananas can give your Korean Banana Milk an extra creamy texture. Simply blend them in the same way as fresh bananas. Just keep in mind that you may want to adjust the amount of added ice.

Is Korean Banana Milk healthy?

Korean Banana Milk is quite nutritious as it contains natural sugars from bananas and essential nutrients like calcium from milk. If you're watching calories, consider adjusting the amount of sugar or milk used.

How can I make this recipe vegan?

To make a vegan version, use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk and avoid adding any honey or animal-derived ingredients. It's just as tasty and maintains the overall creamy texture!

What can I add to enhance the flavor?

You can try adding other fruits like strawberries or even cocoa powder for a chocolate twist. Adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can also elevate the flavor beautifully.

Can this milk be stored for later?

While it's best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, you may need to re-blend before serving to restore the creamy consistency.
