Korean banana milk or 'banana uyu' (바나나 우유) is a popular drink in Korea sold by Binggrae, a famous food and beverage company. This homemade version is made with fresh bananas, milk, sugar, and water and tastes just as delicious, if not better, than the store-bought version!

Korean banana milk is a tasty, refreshing drink that's made with just four ingredients and ready in only 2 minutes! All you need are bananas, sugar, water, and any milk of choice.
Banana milk is a great way to flavor your milk and it makes a fantastic snack for adults and kids alike. If you'd prefer strawberry-flavored milk, try my recipe for Korean Strawberry Milk, another popular Korean drink made by Binggrae!
Ingredients
- Bananas - Use ripe, spotted bananas for a sweeter flavor.
- Milk - Korean banana milk is traditionally made with dairy milk, but you can substitute it with any non-dairy milk you'd like. Almond, soy, and cashew milk are great options for vegan banana milk.
- Sugar - Add as much or as little as you'd like. Substitute with honey, agave, or maple syrup.
- Water - Water is used to thin the consistency for a silky, smooth texture. Use ice-cold water for best results.
How to Make Banana Milk
- Simple add all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into a glass and garnish with a slice of banana. It's best consumed immediately before any separation occurs. Enjoy!
