Easy Banana Milkshake Recipe

Ingredients
- Cremoso Banana Milkshake Mix
- Cold milk
- Ice, for a thicker chilled milkshake
- ½ ripe banana (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chocolate sauce or caramel syrup (optional)
Use the recommended quantities of Cremoso powder and milk shown on the product packaging. Measuring scoop is included.
How to Make a Banana Milkshake
To make a milkshake you need a blender or a shaker. The result will always be superior using a blender but using a shaker is also an option if you can shake hard enough!
- Add the milk. Pour cold milk into your blender.
- Add Cremoso. Measure the recommended quantity of Cremoso Banana Milkshake Mix according to the packaging instructions.
- Blend until creamy. Blend the ingredients until smooth and evenly mixed.
- Make it extra thick. Add ice or half a ripe banana and blend again until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Serve and enjoy. Pour into a tall glass. Add whipped cream, banana slices or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if you like.
That's it! A deliciously creamy banana milkshake, ready to enjoy.
How to Make a Thick Banana Milkshake
If you prefer your banana milkshake thick and creamy rather than light and drinkable, there are a few easy ways to change the texture.
- Use cold milk. Starting with chilled milk helps keep your finished drink refreshing.
- Add a frozen banana. Freeze sliced ripe banana in advance and blend it into your milkshake for a thicker, fruitier finish.
- Blend with ice. Ice creates a colder, thicker drink, especially if you're aiming for a café-style milkshake.
- Serve immediately. Milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh, when their texture is smooth and creamy.
