    Info Banana milkshake

    I've been searching high and low for a really good banana milkshake recipe for ages. Out shopping I stopped at a coffee shop and saw a "cheeta shake" (their version of a banana milkshake) I watched carefully how it was made and then started experimenting myself to try and reproduce it, as it tasted fantastic and this is what I came up with

    We all know that a true milkshake has ice cream, otherwise it's just banana flavoured milk, but for the slightly more health conscious of us (I say slightly because you need sugar in this) then this recipe hits the spot.

    You'll need:
    Ripe banana's (the spottier the better: more spots on the skin = sweeter)
    milk (I used semi skimmed)
    2 cups sugar (next time I'm going to use splenda and see how that goes)
    3 cups water
    2 vanilla pods (or vanilla extract but not one with alcohol in it)
    Freezer
    blender.

    Peel and chop the banana's into inch thick chunks, put them in a bag and freeze them a day before you need them for this.

    To make vanilla syrup
    in a milk saucepan, bring the water to boil and add the sugar, stirring until it dissolves
    once dissolved, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer
    Split the vanilla pods with a sharp knife and scrape out the pulp.
    Put the pulp. plus the pod skins into the sugar water and bring back to a simmer for 3 minutes.
    bring the mixture to a boil for 5 minutes - you're looking to reduce and slightly thicken the mix.
    Pass the mix through a sieve into a jug and allow to cool.

    you now have your own vanilla syrup.

    Take a handful of frozen banana chunks and 500ml of milk
    then blitz in a blender to a thick(ish) consistency
    add in a glug of the vanilla syrup and stir.

    Pour and enjoy the goodness.

    You can add more or less banana/milk and blend to a consistency you prefer if you want, but the vanilla syrup makes this amazing.

    Enjoy!

    I tend to prefer the ones that are more like flavored milk tbh... I do like fresh ones that have ice cream in em but these ones you get in supermarkets are mostly rank
    I find them really glupey/snotty... those frijj ones all the kids love. yuk

    If I am just gettin a typical shop bought one it has to be banana Yazoo for me ;-)

    Might give yours a blast though


    FYI I find splenda a shit replacement for sugar.... try Stevia which is now becoming more available in the UK

    Thanks to macmilm

    Seems a hell of a lot of trouble for a milkshake...and two cups of sugar? ouch.


    Personally, I prefer to make a good Chocolate Protein shake with a massive dollop of Whole Earth peanut butter in it.. That's lunch sorted then.

    Northerners do not have the rights over OXO it's a nationwide stock based cube. However an Eccles cake based mike shake beverage could be the next big thing up north...

    Dripping is not exclusive to the north of England, it been a staple diet of many working class folk for hundreds of years. Scraps, apart from Eccles Cakes are the only delicacies that I know that are uniquely northern. The thought of their 'bottom of the chip fryer' crunchyness could make a stunning addition to any banana shake.

    We've had "scraps" in Dudley for years, we call them "bits" though

    Edit:- That shake recipe sounds delicious!

    Another northern first bites the dust, the Midlands have claimed it. Looks like the Eccles Cake and its close cousin the Chorley Cake are the only things left to add to this banana fusion!

    Have you tried using the vanilla flavourings that you can get for coffee. Lot easier than making it yourself and easier to store I would imagine.
