Easy Banana Milkshake:

Banana milkshake is actually a banana smoothie with milk. This recipe is as simple, fast, and cheap, and tasty as it is. I like this creamy and delicious drink for breakfast or as a hearty and fine snack. In this recipe, I opt for sugar-free composition as the carbohydrates in bananas are enough to get a sweet enough beverage.

The classic version of milkshake involves two main ingredients – milk and ice cream. Milk easily could be substituted with another dairy product like cream, yogurt, or plant-based milk (coconut, almond). The classic version of milkshake can be supplemented with diverse syrups, fresh or frozen berries, fruits, honey, chocolate. There are versatile options, you just have to choose the one you like.

Usually, most milkshakes are made with ice cream, but because I didn’t find any in my freezer today I decide to try out making the one without a base of ice cream. And of course, I made it without sacrificing creaminess. For this, I just added some good protein and healthy fat – almond and coconut.

The secret and aroma, of the best banana milkshake recipe, lies in aromatic bananas. So the riper the fruits are the tastier milkshake you will get.

The optimal fat content in milk should be 2.5%;
Serve the beverage immediately after blending. Otherwise, it loses its airy consistency.
