Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe bananas (peeled and sliced into coins (frozen))
- 1 cup whole milk (or almond milk for a lighter option)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (adjust based on banana ripeness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 cups frozen strawberries (hulled)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1 large frozen banana (sliced)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream (slightly softened or frozen banana)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chocolate sandwich cookies (roughly chopped)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Add the frozen banana slices, milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender; pulse three times to break up fruit chunks; add ice cubes and blend on high speed for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth and thick; if too thick, add an additional tablespoon of milk and pulse again; pour immediately into chilled glasses and serve right away while cold.
- Place the frozen strawberries, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, milk, honey, and vanilla into a blender; secure lid tightly and blend on low speed initially to crush frozen fruit; increase speed to high and blend for 60 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides if necessary; add ice cubes and continue blending until mixture reaches a slushy, pourable consistency; serve immediately in tall glasses, optionally garnished with fresh strawberry slices.
- Combine the frozen banana, milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and vanilla in a blender; blend on medium-high speed for 30 seconds to ensure peanut butter incorporates fully without streaks; add ice cubes and switch to high speed, blending for another 45 to 60 seconds; stop blender and check texture to ensure it is thick enough to hold a spoon but fluid enough to pour; pour into serving glasses and top with crushed peanuts or chocolate chips if desired.
- Place the vanilla ice cream (or frozen banana), milk, sugar, and vanilla extract into the blender; blend on low speed for 15 seconds to combine base ingredients into a smooth liquid; add half of the chopped cookies and pulse briefly just to distribute them without pulverizing completely; add remaining cookies and ice cubes, then blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds; pour immediately into glasses, ensuring each serving gets a good amount of cookie chunks.

Keywords: Ensure your bananas are fully frozen before starting; they should feel hard as rocks when touched. If using fresh bananas, freeze them for at least four hours prior to blending to achieve the correct icy texture.
