Banana Milkshake {Healthy, 3 ingredients}

Happy Thursday! Today is the day I now associate with The Amazing Race…do any of you guys watch that show?! My sisters and I love it – it’s one of those few shows we watch all together, no matter what. And who doesn’t love a good snack on tv night?

Today’s recipe is inspired by our sister night…maybe next week I’ll share our kettle corn recipe, if anyone is interested! This Banana Milkshake has only 3 ingredients and is actually good for you. Bananas + almond milk + vanilla. That’s it. It’s creamy and feels indulgent, without actually being so!

I like to slice and freeze my bananas before making this milkshake. That way the texture becomes like ice cream! Then I blend the heck out of those bananas until it’s super creamy. Next I add the almond milk and vanilla extract. And if I’m feeling super fancy, I treat the glasses with my favorite chocolate (melted with coconut oil) and sprinkles.

Yum.

Ok, let’s recap – this drink is…
Easy.
Fast.
Minimal Ingredients.
Creamy.
Indulgent.
Clean.
Delicious.
