Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 bananas, sliced and frozen
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (2% or whole)
  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream (approximately 3 scoops)
  • 1 banana, sliced (non-frozen)

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup whipped cream
  • 2 maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. Freeze Bananas: Slice two bananas into small pieces and place them in a large zip lock bag. Spread the slices out so they don't stick together, then lay the bag flat in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully frozen.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the frozen banana slices, milk, and vanilla ice cream. Blend until smooth. If the blender struggles, add a little more milk to help it along.
  3. Adjust Flavor and Texture: Taste the milkshake and add a few more fresh banana slices for additional banana flavor if desired. To adjust thickness, add more ice cream for a thicker shake or more milk for a thinner consistency. For extra sweetness, add more ice cream and/or bananas.
  4. Serve: Pour the banana milkshake into two large or three smaller tall glasses.
  5. Optional Garnishes: Top each glass with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry, and a slice of banana. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing banana milkshake!

Notes

  • Freezing bananas individually prevents them from clumping together, making blending easier.
  • Use whole milk for a richer taste or 2% milk for a lighter option.
  • Adjust sweetness naturally with more bananas or ice cream instead of adding sugar.
  • This milkshake is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the creamy texture.
  • For a vegan version, substitute dairy milk and ice cream with plant-based alternatives.
