Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

3 Whole Ripe Bananas
6 Cups of Whole Milk
2 tbsp. of cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 cup of brown sugar

Steps:

Before you can start to make and blend this easy drink, you will need to prepare the ingredients. This means gathering the ingredients, while also cutting them! You will need to peel the bananas and cut them into three sections each.
Measure out the sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Place these items to the side. You can also keep extra cinnamon in a container to add as a garnish if you'd like.
Once the ingredients are gathered and you have your station prepared, add the milk and bananas into the blender. Blend these ingredients well with each other until the mixture is smooth. Although it is tempting to add all the ingredients together, blending the two primary ingredients first helps create a thin consistency.
Once the mixture is smooth and thin, add the rest of the ingredients. Blend for about thirty seconds or until you notice that the solid ingredients are mixed in well. You can always do a quick taste test before serving.
One it is complete and you feel satisfied with your creation, serve and pour the banana Licuado over ice for it to be cool. Garnish with extra cinnamon on top as needed.
