Got Milk?
I’m sure none of us will forget that campaign. But what if you can’t digest dairy very well? Though you might not have a milk “allergy” you might be lactose intolerant.
My dad is lactose intolerant. My daughter’s best friend is lactose intolerant. A lot of people are! If you or a family member are lactose intolerant, or if you’re just trying to cut dairy out of your diet, you’ve got to try Banana Wave BananaMilk.
It is a great alternative to the soy milk, almond milk and coconut milk that you might be getting tired of drinking. It is also a great, nutritious option for anyone with an on-the-go lifestyle, active kids, athletes, and of course, banana lovers.
Banana Wave
Banana Wave BananaMilk contains three of nature’s superfoods – fruit, grains and seeds – and because it begins with pure banana puree one serving contains as much potassium as a small banana as well as 29 vitamins and minerals and 1200 mg of Omega-3s. It contains plant-based protein, is a good source of fiber, and is all natural, dairy-free, gluten-free and certified Non-GMO by Greenleaf Non-GMO. This is a super easy way to get a boost of nutrition into your day.
Banana Wave was created using a recipe passed down by the founder’s grandmother. It is an ancient African recipe that has been used for over 5000 years! The great kingdoms of Kush and Nubia used BananaMilk as a natural energy booster to perform many tasks during hot, bright and sunny days. So cool! If it has been around that long, it has to be good, right?
I love that Banana Wave BananaMilk can be a beverage and an ingredient! Any time a recipe calls for milk, just substitute it with this. That way you’re getting some superfoods in your recipe too!
Pancakes
You all know how much I love pancakes. They are such a comforting food and can be eaten for any meal or snack. You might not think of pancakes as a snack food, but I think they are perfect for little hands (and big ones). My kids would never sit still for a meal once they were out of the high chair stage. That stage did not last long! My mom tells me I was the same way. I’d just go up to whomever was eating and open my mouth for a bite. I guess that’s not so socially acceptable as an adult, or I’d still be doing it.
These pancakes are so easy because I used Bob’s Red Mill Pancake and Waffle Mix to make them. I substituted the milk with Banana Wave BananaMilk. You can double the recipe (I did) and freeze these for when you or your little one wants a snack. They are great plain or with syrup. You could also put some peanut butter on them, but I would highly advise against it if your child is going to be walking around with it. Peanut butter everywhere. You feel my pain right? If it’s going to be you eating it, you could use a couple of them for a sandwich with peanut butter and banana slices. The possibilities are endless!
If you’ve got your own recipe, you can just substitute Banana Wave BananaMilk for the regular milk. If you want an easy peasy recipe, just buy a bag of Bob’s and follow the recipe on the back.
Speaking of recipes, be sure to check out the ones on Banana Wave’s website which include several smoothies and even hot chocolate!

Banana waffles? Woah, those sound SO good. I have to make these for my family – they will LOVE them,.
Let me know how they like them!
I have never heard of Banana Milk before. How interesting!
I think it would add a delicious little kick to any baking recipe like those waffles. I’m not sure how it would taste on it’s own though.
I’m kind of curious though…ooooH! Add them to my morning shakes!!!!
That would be really good!
I always use almond milk and you’re right, it gets boring at times. I can’t wait to try banana milk! I’ve never heard of it and I love bananas and pancakes, so I’ll be making some banana milk pancakes soon. Yum!
I think it is great just because of all that added nutrition too!
I would use this for my daughter and recipes for her! She has a dairy allergy so we are always looking for new products like this!
This is a great, healthy alternative!
I’ve heard about Banana Wave, but haven’t tried it! I’m curious to see what grains are used because I can’t eat certain ones, but if this works for me that’d be awesome!
Yes,definitely check it out! I’m sure they can give you all of the allergy info you need!
Banana milk is excellent and I drink quite a bit of it here in London, UK. Would love to try it with waffles
Yes, definitely try it! It gives them a lot of flavor!
Never knew there is a banana something like this. I used to make my pancakes with real banana’s and I guess this is a good alternative.
Yes, especially for those with dairy issues!
I keep seeing loads of banana themed things of late and they all sound absolutely amazing, I am definitely going to have to try pancakes, it really sounds like a delicious alternative to normal pancakes.
Yes, and using the Banana Wave ups the nutrition too!
I have never heard of Banana Milk but now that I have I’m wondering if I could make rice pudding with it or milk shakes anything that would be great with a banana flavor.
You can substitute it for milk in any recipe!
I would use it in baking, coffee and in cereal
Those would be great!
I am not sure if this is available here in our country but I hope soon! I want to try it. I guess the hassle-free cooking plus the flavor is one of my favorites.
Hassle free is always good!
I have never seen or heard of banana milk before! I bet my kids and hubby would love these pancakes. They all love bananas.
Then they’d love this!
My lactose intolerance issues have been getting worse and it is time to admit that dairy is just not my friend. BananaMilk looks like an awesome (and tasty!) alternative.
This would be a great alternative for you!
I just had banana waffles for lunch and this reminds me of the deliciousness that I just ate! I never heard of banana milk and what a good idea to use it for pancakes!
Yes, it is so good in them!
Whoo! I haven’t tried doing a banana wave. I love bananas and any recipe about it would be great.
It’s really good!
I have been thinking about trying Bananamilk for my granddaughter. She doesn’t do so well with dairy products.
I’ll bet she’d like the flavor!
My Mom loves bananas. She isn’t dairy free but she’s all about banana flavor so I;m guessing she might enjoy this.
I’ll bet she would, plus it is really good for you!
I’d use it to make cupcakes!
That sounds really good!
I’ve never heard of Banana Milk, but it sounds so good. I’m not a milk drinker, but I might change my mind for banana milk! I would use it like you did, Christy. I would substitute it for milk in whatever I’m baking. I bet it would be good in cereal too!
I had it on my mini-wheats this morning and loved it!
I cant lie I cannot eat bananas. But for banana lovers out here this is a fun way to enhance your pancakes!
My bananas have to be a certain ripeness or they give me heartburn, BUT this milk didn’t bug me at all! I loved it.
I have never heard of Banana Wave milk before. These pancakes look delicious, my kids love banana everything!
They’d love Banana Wave then!
Sending this to my son right now. He’ll love it! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! Thanks for sharing!
This is the first time I learned about Banana milk. It love bananas and pancakes, so I guess this recipe is a must try. I will check if they have that Banana Milk in the store. I will have to try it too on cereal.
It was really good on cereal!
I would use the Banana Wave BananaMilk to make my morning oatmeal, adding sliced bananas, walnuts, dates and honey.
THat sounds really good!
I think I would use it in my morning protein shake. I normally use almond milk but this would be good I think.
It would be very good!
I would try thisBanana Milk in my coffee!

The pancakes would probably be one of my first choices. It would also be interesting to try it in a banana nut bread.
That would be great!
I love bananas in my cereal so I would probably try it in my cereal first 😉
It is good on mini wheats!
i would love to make a banana strawberry smoothie with this
That sounds really good!
First, I’d try it in some chocolate milk then I’d…yep, make pancakes with it! 🙂
