How To Banana Milkshakes At Home:
- Start with the bananas…
Peel your ripe bananas and break them into smaller chunks. This will make them easier to blend smoothly into the milkshake.
Pop those banana pieces into a blender. - Next the Milk…
To enhance the creaminess, opt for whole milk or even better, use some heavy cream to give your milkshake a luxurious texture. The higher fat content will create a velvety smoothness that is hard to resist.
- The Ice Cream
You’ll need a generous amount of good-quality vanilla ice cream. The creaminess of the ice cream will add a luscious texture to your milkshake. Opt for a premium brand that uses real vanilla beans for the best flavor.
- Now, it’s time to sweeten things up…
Add in a bit of powdered sugar and banana extract.
Start with a tablespoon of powdered sugar and adjust according to your preference. Remember, you can always add more sweetness, but it’s difficult to remove it once it’s in the mix. -
Now blend it all together to create the perfect banana milkshake!

I used a Oster 6706 6-Cup 450-Watt, 10-Speed Blender for this recipe but any blender should work!
