Ingredients

  • 2 c. cold milk
  • 1 mashed banana

Instructions

  1. For each milk shake, use 2 cups of cold milk.
  2. Add your choice of fruit: mashed banana, prune juice, orange juice, strawberries, or molasses.
  3. Blend the ingredients until smooth and serve immediately.

Tips & Substitutions

For a creamier texture, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or yogurt to your shake. If you want to experiment with flavors, try using frozen fruits instead of fresh ones, which can also enhance the thickness. You can substitute the banana with other fruits like berries or peaches for a different taste. Make sure to blend well for a smooth consistency.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your fruit milk shake in chilled glasses for a refreshing treat. Garnish with a slice of fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch. This shake pairs beautifully with Great Granny Buchanan'S Boiled Cookies or can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast alongside a slice of toast. Feel free to experiment with toppings like granola or nuts for added crunch.

Storage & Reheating

Fruit milk shakes are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If the shake separates, just give it a good stir before serving. Reheating is not recommended, as it can alter the texture and taste, so it's best to enjoy them cold.
