🍌 Creamy Banana Milkshake 🥛
What You’ll Need
1 very ripe banana (the spottier, the sweeter—frozen is fine!)
1 cup whole milk
3 generous scoops vanilla ice cream
ÂĽ tsp pure vanilla extract (the good stuff with visible specks)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice (or bottled, in a pinch)
A whisper of ground cinnamon (about ⅛ tsp—just enough to add warmth)
For serving: A dollop of whipped cream and a few crispy dried banana chips
How to Make It
Prep the Blender: Slice your banana into thick rounds and drop them into the blender jar. This gives the blades something to grip right away.
Add the Liquids & Flavor Boosters: Pour the milk over the banana. Then, add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cinnamon directly on top. These are your secret weapons for a complex, unforgettable flavor.
Top with Ice Cream: Pile the three big scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of everything else. Adding it last prevents the blades from getting stuck.
Blend Until Perfect: Secure the lid and blend on medium-high until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and creamy—about 30-45 seconds. If it’s struggling to blend (it can get very cold!), add milk one tablespoon at a time until it flows freely.
Serve Immediately: Pour the luscious shake evenly into two chilled glasses. Crown each with a swirl of whipped cream and a couple of dried banana chips for a beautiful, Instagram-worthy finish (and a hint of crunch!).
