Forums General Chit-Chat banana milk rant

Voltie — she/her Posted 9 months ago ( 2023/08/5 03:25:15 )


my local market stopped carrying banana milk

I knew this would happen, it was labelled as a limited seasonal item. I suppose June-mid July was the "season".
They came in these glass bottles that were a bit pricey, BUT if you clean and bring the bottles back, you get half off the next one, making it a super good deal imo (surprising, since TX seems to hate recycling afgkjjh)

It is surprisingly difficult to find banana milk in the US.
Between my 10 years in CO and my 2 years in TX, I have found banana milk I think 3 times? and all 3 times they very quickly stop carrying it at the stores. I have purchased the last stock of banana milk at a shop in CO once and for years and years since, they never carried it again LOL
That one was imported korean brand so I was like ok FINE makes sense

but this recent one?
was a US brand

supply and demand right? So I just need to get enough US friends to shout about banana milk enough until corp giants see us, and are like omg these people need 'nana milk

Oh last weekend on grocery day, I saw something yellow catch my eye so I backstepped and was like
omg
is that a nana uyu
BANANA MILk??
So I grabbed the carton without care
and you know what? dont do that, because when you get home and pour out the contents, you might ask youself

Why is it THIS color??

and then husband points out the fact that I cant read XD
This tasted like granola and water, it was a terrible experience.

I'm sure I could just make my own banana milk,
just like back when I couldnt find strawberry milk anywhere where I lived at the time (now that I think about it, I think thats in short supply here, too)
I made it myself once. It was fun but
can I just be lazy and buy these? :')


Have you all had banana milk?
love or hate it?
Will you sign this petition to convince american companies that we need nana milk

I haven't had banana milk in years! The schools I went to carried them for a limited time in the summer and had an orange creamsicle milk in the fall.
They were so delicious. I'm not sure if you have an international grocery store in your area, but usually they sell cool things like that.

That's how I discovered ginger beer :)

@Delightfully:
If you like strawberry milk and you also like banana flavored things, you would probably like banana milk!
Its sweet but not too sweet.
My friend gave me a recipe yesterday that I'm actually going to give it a try the next time I go shopping!
here it is
and no, it should not be chunky HAHA bananas usually blend well. BUT I have a cheap blender that will probably not do it properly, so I'll most likely use a mesh strainer to smooth it out more.

@Justice:
Ohhh you lucky ♥
What other flavors do you like?
I also recently tried a rootbeer flavored milk and its... surprisingly good. Like a melted rootbeer float XD

@Whim:
Yeah I have a couple import grocery stores here, but sadly they dont carry banana milk!
I also have a local grocery store that has a ton of imported brands (like the most common things I would need) so thankfully I dont have to go much out of my way for other things. Like imported sauces I like to use

@Jolly: I found a nesquik banana flavoring powder. I'm actually considering buying some myself, hehehe :)

@Whim:
mmm yes
althoguh I might be less expensive to make it myself
I think I'll try making it first.

Maybe one day they'll carry the korean brand milks at our import store again
but to be fair, they're expensive too (imported and all)

Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it's a plan!


I'm not gonna lie, Banana Milk sounds kind of terrible, haha. I mean, I've heard of Banana Butter, which I like if used in things like pancakes, but ... drinking it? It is any good? Does it just taste like liquified bananas? I'm super curious!

We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

@Mellonin:
I suppose it depends on your tastes, but it does taste like a sweeter version of bananas!
I have known people to not like it (but they usually dont like banana-flavored things anyways)
if its accessible where you are I'd say it is always worth a try!

Also today I bought bananas and maple syrup so I can follow a recipe to make it myself >:D

I can get Banana Wave pretty easily at my local grocery store. I like it, but I don't buy it often due to all the sugar.

@Count Trashula:
Yeah its probably not a bad thing I cant get it often.
I worked so hard to stop drinking soda so I can reduce my sugar habits. I would absolutely end up replacing it with sugary banana milks XD

@Jolly: Oh, is it super sugary? I'm diabetic, so probably not the best idea for me to even try it, haha

@Mellonin:
Oh yeah, it probably is I bet! my friend gave me a recipe that doesn't add sugar, but bananas are naturally full of sugar and it does add vanilla extract (sugar iirc) so it might be better safe than sorry

@Justice:
ohhh interesting, i never heard of it! I'll have to look into and see if they work where i live. I'm in a weird place where even Hello fresh won't use normal delivery couriers so I can't use them due to that service mishandles food deliveries, it's only because of where I live though i don't want the food to rot like it usually happens..

In Australia we go through whack flavours of milk. Like recently we had Banana split flavour but the strongest flavour in it was like Wafer.

Though we are pretty lucky, Banana is a regular flavour, like looking at our supermarkets online catalogue there's at least two brands that have Banana flavoured milk and they aren't limited editions or anything. They're regular like Chocolate or Strawberry.

However I saw the other day that someone on tiktok got excited that a dollar shop was selling Banana flavoured nesquik.
