Method

Peel the banana² and slice it into rounds.
Add the banana², ice cream, and honey to the blender.
Pour in cold milk¹ and blend for 30–40 seconds until smooth and frothy.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately while cold and frothy.

Tips

Why it works: Pour in the milk cold so the ice cream doesn't melt right away and the shake doesn't turn watery. Blend with the lid closed, or splashes will make a mess of the kitchen.
Substitutions: Swap the honey for sugar (5 g) or syrup (3 g), but the shake will be less thick. Use yogurt instead of ice cream (50 g) if you have none.
Common mistakes: If the shake is lumpy, the banana was cut too large or you blended for less than 30 seconds. It should be a smooth puree with no pieces.
Storing and reheating: Don't store it, as the ice cream will melt and the texture will suffer. Drink right away or within 1 hour of making it.
Serve with: Serve at a kids' birthday or as a dessert after lunch with cookies. Adults will like it as a quick snack after a workout.
