Storing

It is best to consume the milk immediately as you will notice the separation and discoloration as time goes by. But if you must store it for later, refrigeration for up to 2 days is okay. Just shake the milk very well before you drink it.

Ingredient Variations

If you decide to omit the water and add more regular milk, you will end up with a banana smoothie. You can also use honey instead of maple syrup.
