Banana Milk

Banana milk might be the most cheerful bottle in the dairy-free aisle. It's made by blending ripe bananas with water (Texas pioneer Mooala adds a handful of sunflower seeds and a pinch of cinnamon), and it arrived in 2016 as the category's first organic Bananamilk. Unlike the banana-flavoured dairy drinks beloved in Korea, this one's entirely plant-based, and because bananas bring their own sugars, nothing needs adding. It's naturally free from nuts, soy and gluten — a lifesaver for school lunchboxes. The taste is exactly as promised: mellow, sweet and unmistakably banana. Splash it over cereal, whizz it into smoothies and milkshakes, stir it into porridge, or bake it into pancakes and banana bread.
