Banana Milkshake

Banana Milkshake - Makes 1 glass

Summer has finally arrived in North London… well, kind of. It’s certainly been a hell of a lot better than it has been recently, and it actually hasn’t rained for the past 3 or 4 days now. Unfortunately the bad weather seems to coincide with the weekends here in London, so if it wasn’t for the fact that I was off work ill today I don’t think I would have even seen the sun yet!  

As I’ve been off work ill, I felt I needed something to perk me up a bit, whilst being pretty neutral on the stomach! I started browsing a number of blogs out there for a smoothie concoction that was going to heal me… or at least make me feel less sorry for myself.

In the end I thought ’stick to what you know’ and I’m so glad I did. I know a lot of people like to dress up banana milkshakes a bit; perhaps adding honey, chocolate or cinnamon. For me the best milkshakes are kept simple. For me that means bananas and milk – perhaps at a push a bit of ice cream.

Ingredients

• 1 banana, roughly chopped
• 250ml milk

Method

Step 1
Throw the chopped banana and milk into a blender and whizz up until you have so smooth milkshake. It really is as easy as that. Serve it into a cold glass and if you been fancy, slice a bit of banana with the skin still on and hang over the edge of the glass (in a similar way as you may do with a slice of orange for a cocktail).
