Ingredients Notes & Substitutions

  • Milk: Use your favourite milk
  • Skim milk powder: Skim milk powder adds extra protein, calcium and a creaminess to the banana milk
  • Honey: This can be substituted for your favourite sweetener or left out depending on your palate. Alternatives include maple syrup, coconut sugar, granulated sugar.
