I love banana milkshakes like these but I modify this recipe a little bit to suit my preferences. I made just one serving by using 3/4 cup of milk, 1 banana, and ice. I don't add the sugar but sometimes to make it a bit more sweet I'll add 1 packet of Splenda. This is a great basic recipe to play with though. Thank you mary!

Yummy. Instead of using ice cubes I used one frozen banana,one cup of milk and one tablespoon of sugar and blended till smooth. I also use other frozen fruits like strawberries,blueberries or plums.

The recipie was delicious. I however, did not use ice cubes. It worked perfectly. (To make sure that the milkshake is cold, use cold milk) My friends loved it!!! (and so did I)

If you're looking for a strong banana taste this is not the recipe for you. This didn't taste bad - but it was kind of like drinking thick, foamy, slightly sweet milk.

These are the best. I have played with this a lot it is very versatile. I use NO ice cubes but frozen peeled bananas instead. Approx- 2 bananas, 1 & 1/2- 2 cups milk, blend. I have added vanilla, pumpkin pie spice and even chocolate syrup to make different shakes. My family loves them a keeper, thanks

My family simply loved this recipe. I modified the recipe, though. I used frozen bananas as in one of reviewers' modification. I used 1 frozen banana + 1 cup of cold milk + 1 TB sugar + 1/2 ts vanilla extract. It was good enough for 2 cups + baby-cup. It seems a little bit sugary but I am going to keep 1 TB for sugar.
