Notes

  • Extra chocolate flavor: Increase the amount of chocolate syrup or cocoa powder, to taste. You can also use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. 
  • Extra protein: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or peanut butter powder.
  • Make it a flurry: Chopped peanut butter cups, Butterfinger candy bars, or Reese’s Pieces add extra fun to this chocolate banana milkshake. Stir it in after you blend the milkshake and sprinkle some on top to garnish.
