There is a chocolate version too. Use 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder and blend it with medium banana and 6 oz skim milk. It's 175 calories per serving.

Ohhh... I want to try the chocolate version...I love chocolate milkshakes..

I usually avoid milkshakes especially those served in restaurants or fast foods. Why? Because I don't know how much calories it has.. But now, I could finally include milkshake in my diet.. Thanks for the post.

Vanilla extract? I don't really like the taste of vanilla. I guess I can just change it to something else. I might even add 1 or 2 different fruits..

@sasa Yeah, you can go on and experiment..Have fun!

@kathy, I'm glad this helps.. This is so much better than fast foods shakes.. Absolutely guilt-free.

@viktoria I love milkshakes too..

I will try this recipe today.. I will have this for today's snack. I will let you know how it taste.. I can't wait..

I made this recipe this morning.. I love it!! I didn't eat anything else for breakfast after that.. I was full after I drank the whole glass.. It taste great..

I know right? I love this recipe too.. I drink it for snacks or dessert.. I feel really full afterwards maybe because the banana itself is very filling.
