Reasons You'll Love It
This drink is a refreshing way to enjoy coffee with a creamy, naturally sweet twist. The banana whip adds a smooth texture without any dairy, making it perfect for those who follow a vegan or plant-based lifestyle. It’s quick to prepare and feels like a special treat.
Step 1
Tos the coconut milk, banana, and your favorite sweetener into a blender. Blend everything until it’s nice and smooth. Next, grab a large glass and fill it up with ice, then pour the banana milk mixture over the ice.
Step 2
In a tall container, mix the boiling water, coffee granules, and sugar. Use an immersion blender or a hand mixer to whip the coffee until it’s light and frothy—this usually takes about two minutes. Finally, spoon the frothy coffee right on top of the banana milk. Enjoy your refreshing drink!
