About Banana Milkshake Recipe:
Who doesn’t like a milkshake?
I still remember one of those old ads we saw as kids. It showed a FREE shake bottle with Nescafé, and we were so impressed—we tried everything to convince our parents to buy it.
Now, we were a tea-drinking family. Coffee wasn’t really a thing at home. But somehow, they finally agreed. Sadly, by the time they did, the offer had ended.
We felt like we had missed out on winning a lottery by just a whisker.
Back then, the easiest shakes we could make were a simple coffee shake or a classic banana milkshake.
We would toss in a few ice cubes, add milk, spoon in some chocolate health drink, blend it all—and there it was: a cool, frothy quick milkshake recipe that made us feel like little chefs.
If it was a coffee shake, we had to buy a small Nescafé packet first. But that effort always felt worth it.
Growing up in northern India, where summers often touched 42–43°C, a cold milkshake was pure bliss.
In cities like Delhi and Bhagalpur (my hometown), the heat makes you crave something cold and refreshing.
You’d find juice corners and healthy banana shake stalls popping up near food joints—especially during summer. These small shops thrived in the heat and quietly disappeared once the season changed.
Even in Bangalore, where it’s not that hot, we still prefer a chilled drink in summer.
Mango shake is an obvious favorite during mango season, but today’s recipe is different—simple, filling, and loaded with natural energy.
It’s a drink many people ignore, but I love it throughout the year—whether it’s for breakfast, after a workout, or as a banana milkshake for kids when they need something tasty and nutritious.
So if you’ve been wondering how to make banana milkshake that’s creamy, quick, and healthy—let me show you my favorite way to do it!

My Recommended Product:
If you make smoothies, milkshakes, or chutneys regularly at home, a good mixer grinder can really save time and effort.
I personally recommend using a high-speed mixer grinder that can blend bananas into a smooth shake without any lumps.
It’s also great for grinding spices, making pastes, or even nut butters.
I only recommend products I’ve personally used or truly believe in for home cooking.
A good mixer really makes a difference in both speed and texture—especially when you’re blending soft fruits like bananas.
