Add the milk, frozen banana slices, and ice cream to your blender.
1 cup vanilla bean ice cream, 1 cup whole milk, 3 medium bananas

Notes

This recipe makes two large shakes or four small ones (you'll have approximately 4 cups after blending). The nutrition information is based on 2 servings.

Frozen bananas work best but you can use fresh bananas in a pinch. You'll just want to add a little more ice cream.

For a thicker shake, add more ice cream. For a thinner shake, add a little more milk.
