Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender.
Peel the banana and add it to the blender along with 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1/2 cup frozen blueberries and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract to the blender.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds, until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with 2 tbsp whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

For a thicker shake, freeze the banana beforehand. Substitute Greek yogurt for a protein boost and creamier texture.
