Yang can attest that when it comes to buying groceries, I tend to over-estimate or ‘over-buy’. Of course, my rationale is “What if the thing I need turns out to be insufficient, dear?”. Then we would fuss over the item concerned and I would pull of long, sad face if darling dearest thwart my ‘plan’. Hee hee.
I love delmonte bananas and ‘pang(1) chiow(1)’ (short and sweet bananas). Bananas are energy-rich foods plus got good minerals such as potassium ions to help relieve stress, vitamin C to combat diseases and fibre for healthy colon! For those weight-watchers, a diet of bananas and skim milk might help reduce some weight too. 
One fine day, I had problems finishing my over-ripen bananas. As I was thinking of ways to be creative in order to minimise wastage of good food, the idea of making banana milk shake popped up. So I went online to do the usual google search for recipes for the beverage and found a few. They are all about the same actually.
With some fresh milk in my refrigerator, ground cinnamon powder, vanilla essence, honey and ice, I was good to go! My first ever banana milk shake.:) I had this blender-cum-ice crusher which I bought a few months ago and could finally put it into good use. The result was a cool, delicious and satisfying health drink which kept me full for the next 2 hours. The recipe for the banana milk shake is as follows:
Banana Milk Shake for 2
Ingredients:
1 large, ripe delmonte banana
300 ml chilled Meiji fresh milk
1 round tbsp honey
Dash of ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
4 ice cubes
Method:
1) Blend all ingredients until smooth.
2) Add ice cubes and hit the ‘crush ice’ button for a few seconds.
3) Serve in chilled glasses. Optional: Garnish with mint leaves. Enjoy!
Note: If there are still too many bananas left, peel off the skin and place them in a zip-lock bag and keep it in the freezer. Can use them for future banana milk shake or eat them as a cold snack!
