This banana golden milk recipe is a different take on golden milk that ups the "help-you-sleep factor" by adding a banana (which naturally contains tryptophan). You can serve this at room temperature, warm it up, refrigerate it, or even freeze it for an any time or any season drink.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk

  • 1 medium very ripe banana

  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk

  • 1 ½ teaspoons maple syrup

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 pinch ground turmeric, or to taste

  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste

  • 1 pinch ground ginger, or to taste

Method

  1. Combine almond milk, banana, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger in a blender; blend until completely smooth.

  2. Pour mixture into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, just until warm. Do not bring to a simmer or milk will curdle. Serve immediately.
