Easy Banana Milk Recipe
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana, any size
1/2 cup of cold filtered water (more if required to thin out)
Blend banana with water on high for a few seconds until blended using Vitamix or similar blender. So easy! Add water if it’s too thick and blend again. Most likely doesn’t store well (will oxidize) so use right away as a drink or my favourite on my cereal.
Banana Milk
You can easily get off the dairy milk and even cut back on the fat and sugar in many nut milks but making your own quick banana milk. Super tasty.
Blend one ripe banana with 1 cup of cold water and optional drop of vanilla. That’s it!

Banana Muffins
Bonnie eats these banana muffins for breakfast instead of the usual cereal when I make them on occasion. But these are very low fat banana muffins (no oil, margarine, etc). The bananas, maple syrup and non-dairy milk give it the moistness. I used whole wheat flour and whole wheat pastry flour, instead of oat flour.
I use the recipe from Dreena Burton, but I used whole wheat flour instead of oat flour (along with the whole wheat pastry flour) and added a bit more milk to make it a bit thinner for the muffins. The muffins stick to the paper quite a bit but it avoids having to use any oil spray.
Buckwheat Pancakes
Ingredients:
-1 cup buckwheat pancake mix (contains baking powder)
-1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk. To make it even tastier use my banana milk recipe.
-defrosted frozen strawberries/blueberries and/or pure maple syrup
Instructions:
Mix pancake mix and non-dairy milk in a bowl and pour onto a hot griddle. I made about 6 pancakes with this. I cooked them on the first side for about 10 minutes and made sure they were bubbling and somewhat cooked on top, and firm enough to flip so they wouldn’t break apart. This is a key problem for many people – not having a non-stick griddle/pan and not waiting long enough to flip the pancakes.
You can add real maple syrup (not the fake stuff) or what I did was defrost some frozen unsweetened strawberries and blueberries, which creates a nice syrup. Add ground flaxseed, cinnamon, nutmeg or whatever else you’d like!

My Daily Oatmeal Breakfast – Plant-Based Lifestyle
Ingredients:
* 1 cup of rolled oats (not instant oats)
* 2 cups water
* 1/4 cup Grape Nuts for crunch (if I have them)
* 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional for omega 3)
* 1 cup banana milk (or you can use unsweetened almond milk or some other non-dairy milk)
* 1/2-1 cup defrosted from frozen strawberries
Instructions:
Cook oatmeal as per instructions on the bag (I microwave the oats and water for 5 minutes). I like mine cool so I put it in the fridge to cool for an hour. Add the flaxseed and Grape Nuts (if using), as well as the strawberries (or berries of choice). Blend a ripe banana with 1/2-1 cup of water until blended. Should only take 5 seconds or so. Pour milk on oatmeal.
If you prefer warm oatmeal, slice the banana on top and don’t make the banana milk. I eat this almost every day!
Note: Cereals are whole wheat based without many ingredients in Canada and hopefully you can find them as well. Strawberries are fresh in season and frozen the rest of the year. I buy frozen sliced strawberries and put them in a container in the fridge the night before to thaw, which creates juices.
Rice Pudding OMG!
I usually make a batch of brown rice for my rice and beans but I had an inspiration to make some rice pudding. So I did some Googling and found this recipe by Dreena Burton. So below is my personal take on what I did for my pudding. As you know I like simple, quick recipes – well this one definitely is easy!
Ingredients
2 cups of cooked brown rice (I make batches and have lots leftover)
1 cup low fat organic soy milk (unsweetened if possible) – you can use almond or rice as well
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1 tbsp brown sugar (optional depending on sweetness of your chosen milk or use a ripe banana)
*Many things can be done here – pinch of nutmeg, cacao, fruit like blueberries, etc.
Instructions
Blend 1.5 cups of rice (left 1/2 cup for later) with other ingredients and blend in Vitamix on high for 20 seconds or until it looks like everything is blended. If really thick after blending add more milk. Pour mixture into a pot, add the remaining 1/2 cup of rice (for texture) and cook on medium heat until thick.
As you might know I wing a lot of things so feel free to try some other options, depending on your tastes and how sweet you like your pudding. Depending on the sweetness of your non-dairy milk you can also add a ripe banana, cacao, etc.
Two ideas to try are subbing my banana milk for the other milk, and also added cacao to make a banana chocolate pudding.
This pudding is amazing warm and tastes great cold as well, and can be for breakfast, snack or dessert.
