Nutella Banana Shake
The Nutella Banana Shake is a delightful and creamy beverage that combines the rich, chocolatey flavor of Nutella with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. It’s a perfect treat for chocolate and banana lovers, and it makes for a delicious dessert or snack option.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
- Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
- Crushed hazelnuts for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Peel the ripe bananas and break them into chunks. Place the banana chunks in a blender.
Add the Nutella to the blender. You can adjust the amount of Nutella based on your preference for the level of chocolate flavor.
Pour in the milk of your choice. You can use regular dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any other milk substitute.
If you want an extra-creamy shake, you can add a cup of vanilla ice cream to the blender.
Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy, ensuring that the Nutella and bananas are fully combined.
Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness or chocolate flavor, if needed. You can add more Nutella if you desire a stronger chocolate taste.
If you prefer a thicker shake, you can add a few ice cubes and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
Pour the Nutella Banana Shake into serving glasses.
Optionally, you can top the shake with a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
For an elegant presentation, garnish the shake with chocolate shavings or crushed hazelnuts.
Serve the Nutella Banana Shake immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy Nutella and sweet bananas.
TIPS
Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
If you prefer a dairy-free shake, you can use a plant-based milk and dairy-free ice cream.
For an extra-rich and chocolatey shake, you can add a tablespoon of cocoa powder along with Nutella.
Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of Nutella or adding a sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
You can also add a tablespoon of peanut butter for a Nutella-banana-peanut butter combination.
To make it a healthier option, you can use a sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread and low-fat milk or yogurt.
