INGREDIENTS

  • ¼ cup Fancy Monkey Banana Cream Pudding Mix
  • 1½ cups Cold soy milk
  • 1 Fresh banana
  • 1 cup Ice
  • 2 Tbsp Honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch Flaky sea salt (Maldon or fleur de sel)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Blend
    Add soy milk, pudding mix, banana, honey or maple syrup, and ice to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and frothy, about 30–45 seconds.
  2. Taste
    Taste and adjust — a little more honey if you want it sweeter, a squeeze of lemon if you want it brighter.
  3. Serve
    Pour into glasses immediately. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt on top and a drizzle of honey if you’re feeling fancy. Drink right away.

TIPS

Drink it immediately — it’s best fresh and thickens as it sits. The flaky salt on top is non-negotiable; it’s what makes this a “salted honey” shake instead of just a banana shake. Unsweetened soy milk works best so you’re controlling the sweetness with the honey. For riffs: blend in 1 Tbsp peanut or almond butter for a nutty, protein-forward version, drizzle chocolate sauce into the glass before pouring, or add half a frozen banana for a thicker, soft-serve consistency.
