Banana Milk Espresso
This is my new afternoon pick-me-up that I thought would be fun to share.
The recipe is super simple, especially if you have an automated coffee maker that pulls a shot of espresso with just the push of a button (shout-out to my Gaggia Anima!). While the espresso cools, you blend the other ingredients to make the banana milk. You will have enough to make a second drink, so save your banana milk in the fridge to use the next day. Enjoy!
