- 1 tbsp honey or sugar (optional, to taste)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Peel and slice the bananas, then add them to a blender.

- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- If you prefer a thicker shake, add a few ice cubes and blend again.

Notes
- Use frozen banana slices for a naturally thicker and creamier milkshake.

- Add a spoonful of peanut butter or cocoa powder for a fun flavor twist.
- Best enjoyed fresh — avoid storing for long periods as the banana flavor will darken.
