Overripe Banana

In our house we eat a lot of fruit...but sometimes it ends up a little over ripe like these banana's you see here and I hate to waste them but we only like to eat them on there own whilst still firm so that is when we start making milkshake!!

 Making banana milkshake is very easy and the beauty of making your own is it's nutritious and has no additives or sugars in it which makes it a wonderful thing to give to your children!!
First peel your banana.....







Half glass of milk

Then half fill your glass with milk and then put banana and milk in a jug and blend with a hand blender.

And hey presto you have fresh creamy milkshake!! The milkshake has a wonderful texture and is think and creamy. Any milk can be used though I use green/semi-skimmed milk.

Great for the kids and adults too!!

Drink immediately!!

Delicious!




Oh and just to let you know...managed to get down the allotment today and get that final bit of weeding finished before the heavens opened up!!

  2. Yum yum :) We make shakes here on a regular basis but I usually use yogurt instead of milk. Will keep this tip in mind for those days we're out of it though!

    1. I've never made my shakes with yoghurt Tanya...we don't tend to have natural yoghurt in very often. This is a really thick and creamy one to have....the texture from just adding a banana is amazing.

  3. Hi Tanya,
    The banana milk shake sounds great. Bananas are very good to eat, nutrious, low-fat and tasty!
    Which reminds me that I need to go out and buy food. 'My cupboard is bare!'

    Thank you for your interesting comments on my different A to Z -posts. You are right about the monkey-puzzle-tree. I am so glad that I am aquainted with someone like you who knows about plants! I will edit my text.

    There is a descendant of the plant that became the jet, and it is native to South America. I think somewhere in the Andes. Victoria Finlay mentions this. A Brit took a plant to the UK and that is why there are monkey-puzzle trees in British gardens.

    I have finished scheduling my posts for A to Z. All of the Etsy treasuries are done too. The Craftcult widgets are ready too. So now I can visit other bloggers or do minor corrections. (But I have to do my taxes first!)

    Best wishes,
    Anna

    1. Hope you get to try out the milkshake!!

      I wouldn't say I know a lot about plants but it's always great to learn new things and I think the internet and blogging such as we do is a great way to find things out. Thanks for telling me how the monkey tree came to end up in the U,K,...is sure is a wonderful tree to see.

      Good luck with those taxes!

  4. I use over ripe bananas in buns, not quite as healthy as your milkshake.

  6. Pity isn't it that weeds regrow - you just think you've cracked it and up they pop again.

    1. I know Sue...at one time when I first got my allotment it felt like by the time I had got to one end that the start was as bad again. Now the soil is better worked it isn't so hard but none the less it is still a year round activity....I do love to see it all freshly done though so I try to keep on top of it...just doesn't always quite work out..lol
