Homemade chocolate syrup, frozen bananas and ice cream for an extra thick chocolate banana milkshake! Break out your blender it’s time to sip deliciousness.
How about a chocolate banana milkshake for your Monday?
Lord knows I could sure use one everyday.
And if you recall, last week I mentioned that I made milkshakes. Well you didn’t think I’d leave you hanging did you? I would never. That day I just made regular chocolate milkshakes, which by the way taste like a Frosty from Wendy’s (if you ask me). This time I added a frozen banana and used my homemade chocolate syrup for the perfect chocolate banana milkshake.
Oh and you’ll want some extra large straws for this extra thick shake.
To make these bonkers amazing milkshakes start by pouring 2/3 cup of whole milk into the pitcher.
Then pour in a 1/2 cup of my homemade chocolate syrup…
… drop in the frozen bananas…
…2 heaping cups (seriously eyeball it here).vanilla ice cream…
… and lastly 2 cups of ice.
Secure the lid, plug in the blender…
…turn the dial to the smoothie/milkshake speed…
…press the start button and behold the magic.
Blend until the milkshake ingredients are combined, thick and smooth.
Pour into chilled glasses, top with whipped cream, a few slices of bananas and drizzle more of that chocolate syrup.
Insert straws and sip.
SO GOOD! There’s nothing like a homemade chocolate shake. Nothing. And if you’re not a fan of bananas, just omit them for a super good chocolate milk good worthy of dipping french fries in… or maybe that’s just me.
Enjoy! And if you give this Chocolate Banana Milkshake recipe a try, let me know! Snap a photo and tag me on twitter or instagram!

I’m praying I win…

I think I would pick pastel blue or black!
That milkshake looks delicious! I would love black!
I was searching online for milkshakes and saw this, my kids happened to see it and wanted it straight away so of course I had to stop what I was doing and make it straight away. They loved it. I used fresh almond milk just because that’s what I had on hand and kept all the rest the same. Turned out perfect.
I’d choose the pretty cream blender. Love it!
Minestrone. Plastic went flying
I would love the cream colored one
Would love the red one!

I love the look of this and when I went to the site to checkout the colors, I couldn’t help but drool over their other appliances. These are definitely works of art! It would be hard choosing one color, but I’d probably go with basic black (although that pastel blue would be so much fun to have).
I’d love the pastel blue! Looks delicious!
Oh, I love homemade milkshakes, but haven’t had one in a long while. By the way, homemade syrup is awesome for homemade hot chocolate this time of year.

That is pretty awesome!
I think the Pastel Blue would be pretty
Wow, what an amazing blender! I would love to win a red one to match my other kitchen appliances. Thanks for the chance!
