What are plantain bananas or cooking bananas?

Plantain bananas, also known as cooking bananas is a variety of bananas.

It is hight starch content and makes a good source of carbohydrates & protein for kids.

Plantain banana flour is also made from green plantain bananas which is a gluten free flour and is used to make porridge and food for babies.

Plantain bananas are great for cooking and make an excellent replacement for potatoes in many recipes including stews and soups.

Some recipes need green plantains for cooking, while some recipes need ripe plantains for cooking.

Ripe plantains are often used for making sweets and desserts while green plantains are used to make curry, stew etc though ripe plantains can also be used to make slightly sweet curry.

In this recipe for milkshake, of course we have to use ripe plantain bananas that are soft and sweet, to make creamy, delicious milkshake.

How to make sweet plantain banana milkshake?

plantain banana milkshake

We use the following ingredients to make easy, delicious, creamy plantain banana milkshake at home.

ingredients to make sweet plantain banana milkshake

ripe plantain 1 large (make sure to use very ripe plantain that is sweet and soft in texture. They usually have very yellow peels with some black spots)

milk 2 cups

brown sugar 2 tablespoons (or sugar or another sweetener, adjust to taste)

vanilla ice cream 2 scoops

vanilla extract 1 teaspoon

step by step instructions

Peel the ripe plantain and slice roughly, add to the blender (if you do not like the tiny black seeds in the plantain bananas, you may scrape them out before adding to the blender).

Also add the milk, brown sugar (or sugar or another sweetener as you like) and vanilla extract to the blender.

Blend the ingredients very well, then add the ice cream and blend again until it’s very smooth & creamy.

There could be some tiny black seeds of the plantain in the milkshake, you may filter through a fine mesh strainer if you wish to remove them.

I usually don’t filter this milkshake.

Transfer to serving glass cups, serve immediately for best results!

If you do not enjoy this milkshake immediately, you can store this in refrigerator for few more hours.

If you need to store this for more longer time, it’s a good idea to transfer the milkshake to ice cube trays and store in the freezer.

Can you make this milkshake without ice cream?

You may make this milkshake without ice cream too. When you do not add ice cream, the milkshake will have more banana flavor in it naturally.

The plantain bananas have more strong banana flavor, so if you do not like that flavor, it is good idea to use vanilla ice cream which will balance the banana flavor.

You may also use chocolate ice cream to make chocolate banana milkshake with plantain bananas for a unique, different variety of chocolate banana milkshake!

Can you make this milkshake vegan?

To make this milkshake vegan, just replace the milk with any plant based milk alternatives like oat milk, almond milk or coconut milk and replace the ice cream with any vegan ice cream substitutes.

I actually like using coconut milk in this recipevery much, since the flavors of coconut milk and plantain bananas go very well, making it a delicious tropical flavored drink.
