💡 Tips for the Best Banana Milkshake

• Use ripe bananas: They’re naturally sweeter and give the shake a richer flavor.

• Chill your ingredients: Cold milk and bananas (or even frozen banana slices) enhance the creamy texture.

• Add protein: Blend in a scoop of protein powder for an energy-boosting shake.

• Make it thicker: Use frozen bananas or reduce the amount of milk.

• Go dairy-free: Almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk all work well as alternatives.
