Licuado de Plátano
Description
This licuado uses chilled whole milk mixed with peeled ripe bananas, vanilla extract, and a dash of cinnamon for flavor depth. Agave nectar is optional, allowing customization of sweetness depending on the ripeness of the bananas. Blending until smooth creates a velvety texture without lumps.
The cinnamon garnish adds a subtle aroma and complements the banana’s natural sweetness. While whole milk is used for creaminess, the recipe notes that other milk types or dairy-free alternatives such as oat, almond, or cashew milk can be substituted based on preference.
This smoothie is served immediately to maintain freshness and a chilled temperature. The ripeness of bananas influences intensity and sweetness, so adjusting the agave syrup or omitting it altogether is a practical tip for personalizing the flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk chilled
- 2 medium banana peeled
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Add the milk, bananas, agave nectar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into a blender.

Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of agave nectar or skipping it, based on banana ripeness.
- Any milk can be used, including dairy-free options like oat, almond, or cashew milk, to suit dietary preferences.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the smoothie at its freshest and chilled state.
