Method

How to make Banana Shake

  1. If you want a chilled shake, simply freeze the sliced bananas for 1 hour in the freezer. If you don't have a high speed blender, soak the nuts (if using) for 1 hour.
  2. Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender jar and blend until smooth and creamy. If it is too thick for your liking, add more liquid and blend.
  3. Pour banana shake to serving glasses. Consume the milkshake immediately. You can top the banana shake with your favorite toppings.

Banana shake with ice cream

  1. Add 2 large bananas, 6 scoops of ice cream and ½ cup of milk. Blend until smooth and frothy. If you want a thinner banana shake simply add more milk & blend.
