1 To make Totally Banana: Place banana, milk, ice cream, and crushed ice in a blender and blend together (on pulse mode to retain the body and so it won’t come out soupy). Serve right away.

2 To make Berry Banana Split: Smear the sides of the glass with chocolate syrup, then place in the freezer while making the milkshake. In a blender, pulse together banana, strawberries, milk, ice cream, and ice until blended. Pour mixture in chilled glasses then top with whipped cream, pineapple chunks, and a cherry.

3 To make Nutty Banana: Place banana, chocolate ice cream, liquor, and crushed ice in a blender. Pulse together. Pour mixture into tall glasses. Finish with whipped cream. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with crushed almonds and banana slices.
