While Bananawave's Banana Milk might sound like a simple blend of dairy and fruit, it's a non-dairy product that's fortified with even more goodness than cow's milk. The Banana Milk is prepared by creating a banana puree from organic soy milk, flaxseed oil and vitamins. In terms of taste and texture, the Banana Milk is described like a smoothie, but easier to enjoy since there is no ingredient-chopping, mixing or cleanup required from this ready-to-drink boxed beverage.
In a cup-sized serving, the milk alternative provides about five grams of protein, plus Omega-3s, potassium, fiber, as well as some of the other vitamins and nutrients that are found in milk from a cow.
As far as use, Bananawave suggests this drink can be consumed in the same way as dairy milk, by the glass, as an addition to cereal or as an ingredient in baking.
