Banana Milkshake

Banana Milkshake

I think this is obvious.

But perhaps it is not.

And a run-in with a new acquaintance recently reminded me…

of the simple banana milkshake.

🍌

what you need

1 frozen banana, ideally cut into chunks

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 scoop vanilla protein powder of choice *see note

1 cup almond milk

1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

An additional 2 teaspoons maple syrup

*I’ve gone back and forth on protein powders over the years. Currently, I use a protein powder on gym days for an extra boost. There are two that I like and they are both incredibly easy on my stomach with gentle texture and taste.

🍌

1. Perelel Health Triple Support Protein Powder is a plant-based (pea) protein powder with creatine and prebiotic fiber. It has a plain taste and my stomach loves it. It works exceptionally well in this shake.

2. Ancient Nutrition Vanilla Bone Broth Protein Powder is an animal-based protein powder with collagen and a slightly sweeter taste. It emulsifies very well and wins best texture award. It makes this shake slightly sweeter.

how to make it

Utensil: Blender

Place frozen banana, almond milk, and maple syrup into a blender and blend until blended. BLEND UNTIL BLENDED.

Whip the heavy whipping cream into medium peaks, add maple syrup, and whip a moment longer to incorporate.

Spoon cream onto top of milkshake. Optional garnish of freshly grated nutmeg and lemon zest.

*Note: You can make this shake with a date instead of the maple syrup, which I love, but it does ruin the completely white vanilla-ness of the shake unless you soak the date for a while in hot water beforehand so it can completely blend with the milk.

**You can also add some Greek yogurt for additional protein and/or chia seeds for fiber.
