A Classic Banana Milkshake

In the mood for a banana milkshake? Don't want to take the time to dig out the blender the ingredients, and then have to wash everything afterwards? Here's a simple way to make a simple classic. It will only get complicated and time consuming if you mind the bits of banana that will make it into the finished product. I personally don't mind and think they add something to this classic drink.

Ingredients: 
1/2 c. Banana Puree or about 1 medium banana
1 c. Cold Milk
1 scoop ice cream or Whipped Cream (optional)


Step 1. Mash the stuffing out of the banana. You want as smooth of a liquid as possible.


Step 2. Using the fork; Blend in the milk a little at a time. You want to incorporate air with the liquid into the puree.


Step 3. Serve. You may want to put this into the freezer for about half an hour. If it's just for you and you don't care that it's not really cold, just add your cream of choice on top and enjoy! If you are going to be serving these to guests, you should put them in the freezer just long enough to get them cold. Don't make them to long in advance, because the longer they sit the flatter they will go. If you have to make them a long time in advance, you might want a blender. Then you can keep the mass in the fridge and blend them just before serving.
