When I used to live in Japan, I frequently went to coffee shops and ordered my favorite drink they offered, “banana jusu” (pronounced “joo-soo”). I think that it consisted of banana, milk, honey, and ice. It was frothy and cold. The best ones had a thick banana flavor, so I think they might have included a greater proportion of banana. I tried to recreate it when I returned to the U.S. Today I am offering you a vegan version, substituting rice milk for cow’s milk. If you are a strict vegan and don’t consume honey, you can try substituting your favorite sweetener. A delicious, wholesome snack for kids and adults alike!
Serves 2
8 oz. unsweetened rice milk
2 ripe bananas
1 TBS honey
6 ice cubes
Blend all ingredients together in a blender. That’s it! Makes about 16 ounces.
