Classic Banana Milkshake Recipe

This recipe is for one serving. You can easily double or triple it for more servings.

Prep time: 2 minutes Cook time: 0 minutes Total time: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 large ripe banana (or 2 small ripe bananas), preferably frozen in chunks for a thicker, colder shake
• 1 cup (240ml) cold milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond milk, soy milk, oat milk)
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar or other sweetener (like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar), to taste (optional, depending on banana ripeness and preference)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but highly recommended for flavor)
• A few ice cubes (optional, if not using frozen banana or for an extra cold shake)
• Additional banana slices for garnish (optional)

Equipment:

• Blender

Instructions:

1. Prepare the banana: If using a fresh banana, peel it and break it into a few pieces. If using a frozen banana, simply take it out of the freezer.
2. Combine ingredients: Add the banana pieces, cold milk, sugar (if using), and vanilla extract (if using) to your blender. If you want a thicker, colder shake and aren’t using frozen banana, add a few ice cubes now.
3. Blend: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, and blend again. If it’s too thin, you can add a few more frozen banana chunks or ice cubes and blend again.
4. Taste and adjust: Taste the milkshake and add more sugar or sweetener if desired, then blend briefly to incorporate.
5. Serve: Pour the banana milkshake into a tall glass. Garnish with a few fresh banana slices on the rim or floating in the shake, as shown in the image. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Banana Milkshake:

• Frozen Bananas are Key: For the thickest, coldest, and creamiest milkshakes without watering them down with too much ice, use ripe bananas that you’ve peeled, sliced, and frozen beforehand.
• Ripeness Matters: Use very ripe bananas (those with brown spots) for the sweetest, most flavorful milkshake, reducing the need for added sugar.
• Adjust Sweetness: The amount of sugar needed will depend on the ripeness of your bananas and your personal preference.
• Add-ins: Get creative!
  • Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
  • Nutty Flavor: A tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter.
  • Spice: A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • Chocolate: A tablespoon of cocoa powder or chocolate syrup for a chocolate banana milkshake.
  • Oats: A few tablespoons of rolled oats for extra fiber and thickness.

Strawberry Mango Smoothie

This vibrant and refreshing smoothie is packed with the sweet and tangy flavors of fresh strawberries and juicy mangoes. Perfect for a quick breakfast, a healthy snack, or a delicious way to cool down!

Yields: 1 serving Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen strawberries (or fresh strawberries with 1/2 cup ice)
• 1 cup frozen mango chunks (or fresh mango with 1/2 cup ice)
• 1/2 cup liquid (such as water, milk, almond milk, coconut water, or orange juice – adjust for desired thickness)
• Optional: 1-2 teaspoons honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar (if you prefer it sweeter)
• Optional: A squeeze of lime or lemon juice for brightness
• Optional additions for extra nutrition:
  • 1/2 ripe banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (for protein)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (for fiber and omega-3s)
  • A handful of spinach (you won’t taste it!)

Instructions:

1. Combine ingredients: Add the frozen strawberries, frozen mango chunks, and your chosen liquid to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend: Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed.
3. Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more liquid (a tablespoon at a time) and blend again until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen fruit pieces or a handful of ice and blend again.
4. Sweeten (optional): Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to taste and blend briefly to combine.
5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass.
6. Garnish (optional): Garnish with a slice of fresh mango and a whole strawberry, and a fun straw, just like in the picture!

Tips for the perfect smoothie:

• Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit is key for a thick, cold smoothie without needing too much ice, which can dilute the flavor.
• Adjust liquid: The amount of liquid you use will determine the thickness of your smoothie. Start with less and add more as needed.
• Layering: For best blending, add liquid first, then soft fruits/greens, and finally frozen fruits on top.
• Experiment: Don’t be afraid to adjust the ratios or add other fruits or ingredients to suit your taste!

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds or half-moons
• 2 stalks celery, chopped (optional, but good for depth)
• 3 medium potatoes (e.g., Yukon Gold or red potatoes), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

• 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a non-vegetarian option)
• 1 cup water (or more broth if preferred)
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 5-6 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste (adjust based on broth sodium content)
• Optional additions for serving: fresh parsley or dill, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, a crusty bread.

Instructions:

1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
2. Add Harder Vegetables: Stir in the sliced carrots and chopped celery (if using). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to start softening them slightly.
3. Add Potatoes and Tomatoes: Add the cubed potatoes and the can of undrained diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir to combine.
4. Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits.

8. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately with crusty bread.

Tips and Variations:

• Protein Boost: Add a can of drained and rinsed cannellini beans, chickpeas, or kidney beans along with the corn for added protein and fiber. Cooked shredded chicken can also be added at the end.
• Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
• Different Vegetables: Feel free to swap or add other vegetables like green beans, zucchini (add towards the end to prevent mushiness), or bell peppers.
• Herb Variations: Rosemary or oregano can be used in place of or in addition to thyme and basil.
• Richer Flavor: For a richer broth, you can roast the carrots and potatoes lightly before adding them to the soup.
• Creamy Version: For a creamy soup, remove about 1-2 cups of the soup (mostly solids) and blend it until smooth, then stir it back into the pot. Alternatively, stir in a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk at the very end.

Banana Almond Smoothie

Yields: 1 serving Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen) – Using a frozen banana will make the smoothie thicker and colder.
• 1/2 cup (about 120ml) milk of your choice (dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, etc.)
• 1/4 cup (about 30g) raw almonds (as seen in the image, you can use whole or slivered)

2. Combine ingredients: Add the banana (peeled), milk, almonds, honey/maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract (if using), and ice cubes (if using) to your blender.
3. Blend: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no almond chunks remaining. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.

• Nut butter option: Instead of whole almonds, you can use 1-2 tablespoons of almond butter for a smoother texture and richer flavor.
• Sweetness control: The ripeness of your banana will affect the sweetness. Adjust honey or maple syrup accordingly.
