Instructions

Frozen Bananas

If you don't have frozen banana chunks on hand, start by slicing 2 peeled, very ripe bananas into 4-5 chunks.
Add them to a ziploc bag or airtight container and put in the freezer over night.

Milkshake

Put all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy (don't add the maple syrup right away if you prefer a less sweeter smoothie)
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or dates.
Transfer the milkshake to 2 serving glasses, add toppings of choice (whipped cream, caramel sauce) and serve right away!

Notes

Skip Maple Syrup: You could replace the maple syrup with honey. If you feel that the recipe is already sweet enough, you can skip the maple syrup for a refined sugar-free recipe. Alternatively, you could use 2-3 soft dates instead.
Skip Peanut Butter: Can be replaced with almond butter or left out however, this will slightly change the taste of this recipe.
Milk of choice: The oat milk can easily be replaced with other dairy-free milk alternatives such as almond milk, soy milk or cashew milk. The recipe works just as well with regular whole milk.
Adjust Texture: You can adjust this milkshake to desired consistency. Add more frozen banana chunks for a thicker milkshake or gradually add more milk for a thinner shake.
Optional Add-Ins: Cocoa powder, vanilla extract, handful of berries
