✦ Chef Noor's Tip

Freeze the banana in advance — it gives the shake its thick, ice-cream-like body.

Ingredient Swaps

Swap the blueberries for strawberries or mixed berries depending on the season.

For a plant-based version, use almond or oat milk instead of dairy.

Honey can be replaced with dates or maple syrup.

Common Questions

Why a frozen banana?
