Vanilla "Bean Milk"
We’re always looking for ways to “sneak” healthy goodness into our kids, and this bean milk fits the bill. The white beans are totally undetectable, and the frozen banana imparts just a hint of flavor. It tastes kind of like liquid vanilla milkshake. Both my daughters liked it! The ingredients are definitely cheaper than nut milk.

I need to try this with Tru!
This is a great recipe. I omit vanilla and cinnamon for recipes like soup. The vanilla and cinnamon are a great touch for cereal, pancakes, & muffins. Cook beans from dried and it makes for a budget friendly milk. I suppose you could freeze some to have on hand?
Thank so much : )
So glad you like it! 🙂
