2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 tbs. honey
1 1/2 cups orange juice, ice cold
Equipment you need is:
blender
measuring spoons
measuring cup
Since I'm super cool and stuff, I had everything sitting nice and pretty.
Now, the first step is to slice the bananas as stated in the ingredients. I usually don't slice things but I feel I did well with these bananas. The next part is just throw it all in the blender, even the slow dripping honey.
Surprisingly, you then blend all the ingredients for about 30 seconds (Pinkwater 50).
After all that super fun blending, you just pour and serve it immediately. It was definitely thick but drinking it had a nice and light feeling overall. As one would think, it was very banana-y and very orange-y and the honey made it a little sweeter. Everyone in my family had a drink of it and it was all positive and neutral reviews and that makes me the best blender-er ever. I also enjoyed the drink as you can see here:
Overall, it was a nice, easy shake to make with a fantastic shake. I hope to make more simple drinks like this in the near future just to see what this book has to offer. Until next time my guys, stay bananas... idk puns are tough.
Question: Is a thick shake just a smoothie?
Hey Alex! That's a pretty interesting question, but I've always considered smoothies to be primarily fruit based, so I guess you could say your "thick shake" is just a smoothie. Overall, nice job with the drink. Personally, I'm not a big fan of bananas, but regardless, it still looks great to me!
ReplyDeleteYeah, bananas suck but it was a treat overall. The hardest part for me to get over is that there's "berry thick shakes" but then a whole section for smoothies. The way each are made are just about the same except smoothies get some extra fruit and ice. Maybe thick shakes are concentrated smoothies... Hmm.
DeleteThat looks like some delectable drinking juice you made. I always thought of a shake to be more of a dessert and a smoothie to be more of a fruits and veggies kind of thing so if it's a thick shake then, maybe its a mixture of both; but I don't really know. Great question; what's your opinion
ReplyDeleteI like that differentiation (that's my favorite word) of shakes being a dessert and smoothies being just a fruity good time. In my opinion, I just want like a cookies n' cream milkshake because those make more sense and are delectable.
DeleteA thick smoothie sounds pretty good. This seems like one of those last minute cravings that are really simple to make. This recipe seems great in the summer or late spring and I can see making this myself for my friends and family. Although I might've added some sort of liquid or ice.
ReplyDeleteSome of these thick shakes do call for crushed ice so I'm interested in my last post to see how different this thick shake is to it. Probably a little more refreshing and crisp if I had to guess but we'll see.
DeleteThis looks real yummy! In fact, a shakes main ingredient is ice cream and a smoothie is a puree of more than one ingredient such as fruits and milk. In any case, that is one thicc shake! Would you make this again in the morning?
ReplyDeleteDespite this shakes hot thiccness, I'd probably just drink something terrible for me in the morning like a Rockstar or Red Bull because I hate my body. Just kidding! This shake takes a hot minute to make and I have none of those when I wake up so sadly, I'd probably resort to so OJ or water sadly.
