The Best Ever Banana Milkshake By Samina Iqbal

Looks like summer has arrived early this year, and with lockdown being the new ‘normal’ a lot centres around food and eating. We are all cooking a lot more, and there is generally a whiff of barbeque in the air, if you go into your garden.

Here’s a lovely accompaniment to a nice juicy burger. And whilst you are out barbequing, the kids can get on with this recipe, as it’s super easy, but totally delicious.

Equipment: blender, knife, teaspoon, ice cream scoop, tall glass, chopping board

Ingredients per milkshake: 1 banana 1 tall glass of milk (can be coconut, oat, soy or nut milk if you can’t have dairy) 2 teaspoons banana flavoured Nesquik powder Method: 1. Make sure you ask a parent to help you, or for permission to do this on your own. 2. On the chopping board, cut the end of the banana skin with your knife. Peel the banana and cut into slices, keeping the fingers that are holding the banana, away from the knife. 3. Place the sliced banana into the blender. 4. Pour the milk into tall glass, until it is three quarters full. Pour the milk into the blender. 5. Add 2 teaspoons of Nesquik powder, remembering to level the spoon

2 scoops of plain vanilla ice-cream with your finger to get the exact amount. 6. Add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. 7. Put the lid on the blender. Plug it in and turn it on. Blend for two minutes, then pour into your tall glass.
