Description
Banana milkshake is a creamy, classic treat that blends the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with milk and ice cream into a smooth, chilled delight. It’s simple, nostalgic, and perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth in just minutes—whether you’re making it as a snack, dessert, or even a quick breakfast option.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non‑dairy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- ½ cup ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, banana slices, cinnamon, or a drizzle of caramel
Instructions
- Peel and slice the bananas, then add them into a blender.
- Add the vanilla ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract (if using).
- If you’d like a thicker, colder shake, add the ice cubes.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the milkshake into tall glasses and add your preferred toppings, such as whipped cream or banana slices.
Notes
- For a healthier version, skip the ice cream and use frozen bananas + yogurt + a small amount of honey.
- You can add peanut butter, Nutella or cocoa powder for a richer twist.
- Use almond, oat or soy milk for a dairy‑free version.
- Serve immediately—milkshakes are best fresh and cold.
