    This Jugo de banano is a popular drink in Colombia. It's very simple to make and delicious.

    Jugo De BananoPin

    We Colombians love fruit juices and in fact, we end almost all our meals with them. Jugos de fruta are very popular in Colombian restaurants and homes. My mom would make a pitcher of some sort of fruit juice every day for us when I was growing up.

    Jugo de Banano or Colombian-Style Banana DrinkPin

    Some people prefer the juices made with water and some prefer them with milk, either way if you visit a Colombian home, they will offer you juice instead of soda, as that is part of our culture. This banana drink (Jugo de Banano) is one of my favorites. Try it!

    Jugo De Banano IngredientsPin

    Ingredients You'll Need

    The printable recipe card with exact amounts and directions is below.

    Milk: I recommend using whole milk to make this jugo de banano, but you can use low fat, almond or coconut milk if you prefer.

    Bananas: I always use organic fruit.

    Vanilla extract: Use a good quality

    Sugar: This ingredient is optional, but I like my juice sweet. Replace it with honey or sweet condensed milk.

    Cinnamon: it gives extra flavor to the juice.

    Ice: I love a very cold banana juice.

      My son needed a colombian recipe for HS spanish class and waited until the last minute to look one up. We were desperate for a recipe that had ingredients we had on hand. I'm glad we found this one! It was so easy for him to whip up and was very yummy too!

      ¡Que super rico! I love your site. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. I've just returned from Medellin, the Eternal Spring. I love everything about your country including the food. Jugos naturales are my all-time favorite. I love the street vendors with their blenders and large plastic measuring cups. I live in California and was wondering if you knew of any company in the US offering frozen pulp for making jugos naturales? My favorites include lulo, guanabana, guava. Thanks.
