Method
- Peel the ripe Morado bananas, remove any bruised or fermented-smelling flesh, slice, and freeze for 1–2 hours for a thicker shake.
- Place cold milk or coconut milk, half the sweetener, vanilla, salt, and ice in a blender.
- Add the banana and blend just until smooth; stop and scrape the sides rather than running the blender long enough to warm the drink.
- Taste and add more sweetener only if the bananas need it.
- For a thinner drink, add cold milk by the tablespoon; for a thicker one, add more frozen banana rather than excess ice.
- Pour immediately into chilled glasses and garnish only after blending.
- Serve at once and refrigerate any unused portion; the colour and fresh banana flavour darken quickly.
