Everyone has a different idea about the perfect ingredients to include in each milkshake flavor. Banana milkshakes present a special challenge because the ripeness of the fruit affects how sweet the shake tastes. A very ripe banana does not require as much sugar in the shake. The master milkshake maker will adjust the following ingredients and achieve the perfect taste for every shake.

INGREDIENTS – for each shake
Banana – one
Sugar – 2 tablespoons
Honey – 2 teaspoons
Ice cream – ½ cup
Milk – 2 cups (can use condensed milk)
DIRECTIONS
1. Slice the banana and taste one slice to determine the sweetness of each banana. Place the banana slices in the blender with the honey. Wait to add the sugar until later.
2. Add the ice cream and one cup of the milk. Place the lid on the blender and turn it on a low speed. Allow the mixer to run for 2 minutes.
3. The ingredients will mix together and the thickness can be determined at this point. Add some more milk to achieve the proper thickness in the shake. As the mixture softens the banana will release more fruit flavor into the ice cream and milk.
4. Stop the blender and taste the mixture. Add sugar until the preferred taste is achieved. A very ripe banana will be sweet enough in the shake without sugar.
5. Pour this perfect milkshake into a glass and enjoy!
Other fruit milkshakes can be made with the right amount of fruit. The slices from one banana will measure approximately ½ cup. Strawberries, mango and cherries in the proper proportion can be substituted for the banana in this recipe. Experimenting is the best method for developing a host of recipes that the entire family can enjoy.
For the person who does not like bananas, use another fruit after all of the other shakes have been made. Fruit combinations are sure to please the sophisticated pallet. Bananas and strawberries combined in the same shake are a favorite around our house when the strawberries are in season. Perfectly ripe fruit tastes wonderful and releases more juice than under ripe fruit. Frozen fruits can be used when the supply of fresh fruit has been exhausted. Consider reducing the amount of milk in the shake when using frozen fruit.
