Featured with this recipe
Drink blue milk, just like Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode IV! The blue beverage made its first appearance in the films, and then was brought to life by Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Blue milk (or bantha milk, if you’re feeling fancy) is a fruity concoction that is a plant-based blend of coconut milk, bananas, maple syrup, cinnamon, and blue food coloring. You can almost feel the heat of Tatooine as you sip your beverage! Enjoy a nice tall glass of blue milk today!

Variations
Different milks
- Soy milk- to keep the thick and creamy feel, and to keep the drink plant-based without dairy, you can try this milk. It doesn’t have a strong flavor.
- Oat milk- this milk is also a little thicker and creamier. It has a bit of a nutty taste.
- Almond milk- a thinner milk, though a lot of people enjoy it and it doesn’t have a strong taste.
- Rice milk- a basic milk, doesn’t taste like anything. It’s a great base for whatever you want to mix with it.
Food coloring alternates
- Blue spirulina powder- this blue/green pigment comes from a type of algae. In large amounts, it tastes slightly earthy, but within a sweet drink, you wouldn’t be able to taste it.
- Blue fruit punch powder- that, or blue raspberry. This will add color and flavor to your drink.
More Fruit
- Pineapple juice
- Orange juice
- Watermelon
- Dragon Fruit
- Lime juice
- Passion fruit juice
The Process
Making Blue Milk is simple. Gather all of your ingredients, except for the food coloring. Put the ingredients into your blender and blend until everything is combined and smooth. At this point, you can add the food coloring and pulse the blender, making sure the color is evenly dispersed. Serve your drink immediately. It will be nice and cold and the perfect consistency.
Recipe Tip
I used gel food coloring so it just took one drop to make this bright blue color!
