A mint and banana milkshake has a unique and refreshing taste.
The creaminess of the banana blends well with the cool, slightly sweet and minty flavor. The banana adds a smooth, rich texture and natural sweetness, while the mint gives it a fresh, cool kick.
Together, they create a balance between fruity and refreshing, with a slightly herby zing from the mint. If you like both mint and banana, it can be a surprisingly delicious combination!
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas
1 ½ cups cold milk (or a dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk)
2 tablespoons honey or sugar (optional) or 3 dates without seeds.
Squeeze juice of 1 lime
5 to 6 fresh mint leaves
½ Teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
1 cup ice cubes
Steps to follow
Step 1: Prepare your ingredients. Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into chunks for easy blending.
Step 2: In a blender, combine the bananas, milk, lime juice, mint leaves, honey (if using), and vanilla extract. Add ice cubes for a frothy, chilled texture.
Step 3: Blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds or until the milkshake is creamy and well mixed.
Step 4: Taste and adjust accordingly; if needed, add more dates, honey or sugar for sweetness. If it is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again.
Step 5: Serve immediately, so that the ice does not melt, and then pour into glasses and garnish with extra mint leaves or a lime wedge for a fun, child-friendly presentation.
The drink is packed with vitamins and energy for active kids. Instead of giving them sodas and artificial fruit drinks, this is a great alternative.
Make it extra fun by serving with a colorful straw or letting them help blend it up!
