Notes
- Use ripe, spotty bananas for maximum sweetness and deeper flavor profile in the milkshake.
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep milkshake cold and prevent rapid melting of whipped cream and ice cream.
- For dairy-free version, substitute regular milk and ice cream with almond, coconut, or oat milk alternatives.
- Experiment with homemade syrups or sugar-free options to customize sweetness and reduce calories.
