During the summer, the consumption of soft drinks becomes very popular.
Natural homemade and non-alcoholic drinks can not only relieve thirst, but also hunger; they can be used as a snack, and served with delicious cookies can replace a light breakfast or dinner. This time we will prepare a banana-chocolate shake in a blender based on milk, grated chocolate, banana, also add vanilla to it and get a delicious milkshake. If you want to make this cocktail more nutritious, you can add a piece of ice cream to it; this cocktail is recommended for those who want to gain weight.

Ingredients

• glass of milk 200 ml;
• one ripe banana;
• chocolate 30 grams;
• vanillin.

Preparation

To prepare this cocktail, I use homemade, unboiled milk. But this is only possible if you are sure that the milk comes from a clean and healthy cow. Otherwise, it is better to use store-bought pasteurized milk to prepare the cocktail. Before cooking, milk should be well cooled, but not frozen. Pour a glass of milk into a mixer, in which the process of mixing all the components of the cocktail will take place.


I used milk chocolate for the cocktail. But for those who do not like milk chocolate, it is quite possible to replace it with black chocolate. But then you may have to add a small amount of granulated sugar to the cocktail for sweetness. The chocolate must be grated on a fine grater.


Bananas must be washed before use, because... Before reaching our table, it makes a long journey, collecting dust and dirt on its skin. And often, for longer preservation, they are treated with various harmful solutions. Then peel and cut into small cubes.

Along with the grated chocolate, add the chopped banana to the milk in the mixer.


I also add a pinch of vanillin or vanilla sugar to the mixer for flavor. It will add a pleasant vanilla aroma to the cocktail.


Now whisk everything thoroughly until the banana completely turns into porridge and there are no pieces.


It is also possible to use creamy ice cream when preparing this cocktail, but I don’t do this because... Ice cream contains a lot of calories, but our version of the cocktail already has enough calories for one consumption. If, nevertheless, you want to add ice cream, then I recommend reducing the amount of chocolate and banana by half.
Serve the cocktail in a cocktail glass, decorating the rim with grated chocolate and sprinkling it on top.
