Choose Your Bananas

When it comes to making banana juice, the type of banana you choose will have a big impact on the flavor and texture of your juice. You'll want to choose ripe bananas that are free from bruises and black spots. Depending on the flavor you're going for, you can use sweet yellow bananas or slightly tart green bananas. 

If you're looking for something a little more exotic, try some red bananas or plantains. Each variety will give you a different flavor, so pick your favorite or mix and match! You'll need at least two bananas per serving, but you can use up to four if you want to make a larger batch of juice. Make sure to get the right amount for the amount of juice you want to make.

Peel and Slice the Bananas

The next step in making banana juice is to peel and slice the bananas. Peel the bananas by holding onto the stem and gently tugging until the skin slides off. Once peeled, slice each banana into one-inch chunks. It’s important to make sure the pieces are relatively even so that they blend evenly in the blender. 

It may help to use a cutting board and a sharp knife when slicing the bananas. To save time, try slicing several bananas at once if you have a large quantity. After you’re finished slicing the bananas, transfer them to a separate bowl or container until you’re ready to add them to the blender.

Add the Bananas to the Blender

Now that you have your bananas peeled and sliced, it’s time to add them to the blender. Put the banana slices into the blender and begin blending on a low setting. You may need to stop the blender several times to scrape down the sides.

Continue blending until the mixture is creamy and smooth. You may need to add a bit of water or some other liquid such as coconut water or almond milk to get the desired consistency. If so, add one tablespoon at a time until you achieve your desired texture.

Once blended, your banana juice is ready to drink! Serve over ice for a refreshing summer treat.

Blend Until Smooth

Once you have added your banana slices to the blender, it’s time to blend them up until the mixture is smooth. Start by adding a few tablespoons of water to the blender if needed. This will help the blending process and ensure a smooth consistency. 

Turn the blender on low and gradually increase the speed until all of the banana pieces are blended together. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender every few seconds to ensure all of the banana is blended together. If your blender has a pulse setting, you can use this instead for more control over the blending process.

Once the banana juice has reached a smooth consistency, you’re ready to enjoy! Pour the banana juice into glasses and garnish with a few slices of banana or a sprig of mint for added flavor and presentation. Enjoy your banana juice and savor the delicious flavors! You can also experiment with other ingredients like fresh berries, orange juice, and coconut milk to customize your beverage. Keep in mind that these extra ingredients will add sweetness and a unique flavor to your drink. 

If you want to add some extra nutrients to your drink, try adding chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp hearts for an additional nutritional boost. The seeds won't change the taste of your drink but they'll provide plenty of healthy benefits. 

To store any leftovers, pour the banana juice into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat before serving as desired. Alternatively, you could also freeze individual servings for later consumption. When ready to enjoy simply thaw overnight in the fridge and pour into a glass. 

Banana juice is an incredibly versatile beverage that can be enjoyed any time of day.
