If You Haven't Been Making Your Milkshakes This Way, You're Missing Out

Last year when I taped my Swedish baking show, I had a guest come over to make milkshakes with me. On set, my guest taught me that for the most incredible milkshake you've ever had, the secret is a simple syrup made of a fruit puree of the same flavor as your milkshake, and frozen bananas to make it thick and creamy.

First, shred the frozen bananas first in a food processor just like you would do with carrots, before adding them into the blender with the rest in your traditional milkshake ingredients and the fruit puree.

My favorite fruit flavors are raspberry, mango and blueberry!

Let's start.
