Banana Mikshake

Ok, giving you a recipe for this is a bit much, but I really love banana milkshake. It means I can eat two bananas, a load of milk, and some ice cream in a few moments. Fast food! It's not very healthy I guess, but its not like I make one everyday and if you eat healthily most of the time you can have the odd treat! Gives me an initial energy boost, and then longer lasting energy from the nanas.

So, I get two bananas, 250ml of milk, and two big scoops of vanilla ice cream, bung it all in my smoothie maker, wizz up, and that makes one pint of milkshake. To get the best milkshake use squishy very ripe bananas and a good quality ice cream.

Nom nom nom.

When I was younger my brother and I would make banana milkshake when we came in from playing out, a huge vat of the stuff. We used to always make sure we used white straws with a yellow stripe to drink it, and the cat would harass you for the last bit that would never quite come out the glass.

Other fruit milkshakes can be harder, as the acid in the fruit will split your milk. With strawberries you need to cook them with some sugar to make a jammy syrup, and then use this to wizz things up. Raspberries need quite a bit of cooking and never use uncooked as they always split the milk.

I wonder if I could put rum in a banana milkshake and make some sort of tropical cocktail thing? Like a white russian, but with a banana kick?
