BANANA MILKSHAKE INGREDIENTS

For this milkshake recipe, you need the following ingredients:

Whole milk: Whole milk makes the milkshake very creamy. You can use 2% but I don’t recommend 1% or skim milk. You can also make it with almond milk or soy milk if you wish and I’m sure the result will be just as tasty.
Ripe bananas: You’ll want aging bananas but not brown.
Vanilla ice cream: My favorite is vanilla bean ice cream. It goes perfectly with the bananas. However, if you want you can add Butterscotch or chocolate ice-cream as well.
Dash of cinnamon: Banana and cinnamon are a great flavor combination.
Dates – The dates add natural sweetness and a pleasing texture. Some tiny date pieces may remain after blending.
