Ingredients

  • 2 cups Coconut Milk (- lite or with a thin to medium consistency)
  • 3 bananas (- medium sized)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons raw sugar (or as required, optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1 to 2 pinches of vanilla powder, optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (or ground green cardamom powder for garnish, optional)

Method

Making Banana Shake

  1. Peel the bananas and chop them.
  2. Transfer the chopped bananas, vanilla and coconut milk into the blender.
  3. Add raw sugar or your preferred choice of sweetener. You can choose to omit the sweetener.
  4. Blend everything until smooth and creamy. If you find the banana shake to be too thick for your liking, add a few splashes of water and blend again.
  5. Pour the milkshake in glasses and serve right away.

Serving Suggestions

  1. If you like you can sprinkle some cinnamon or cardamom powder onto each banana milkshake. Top with some chopped nuts if you like. Serve right away while cold.
  2. To get the best flavor and taste, drink the banana shake as soon as you make it as banana discolors due to oxidation. I would not suggest to refrigerate the banana shake even for a few hours.
