Do you think chipmunks are cute? What about chipmunk cheeks?
I had some dental work done yesterday and had the joy of Novocaine as part of the experience. I spent five hours talking funny and feeling like I had chipmunk cheek and swollen lip. However, when I looked in the mirror, my face looked the same.
I was not supposed to chew for a few hours which was fine with me because just drinking water did not go well.
Once I was sure I could swallow without wearing the drink, I decided to feed my belly. But with what? I eyed the remainder of my iced coffee and instantly knew the flavor combination I desired: coffee and bananas.
Iced Coffee Banana Milkshake
3/4 cup iced coffee, sweetened to your taste (mine also had some half n half in it)
1/4 cup organic milk
1 ripe banana
a few ice cubes
Place all of the ingredients into the blender, cover and pulse on ice crush setting. Then blend until fully combined. Add more milk, ice and even iced coffee until the thickness and flavor you desire is achieved. Heck, add some vanilla if you wish.
Add a straw, kick up your feet and prepare to say ‘Ahhhh’.
Pass the ibuprofen.
What are your favorite milkshake flavors?

Hi Mary, it was not too thin with almond milk? did you have to alter at all? Thanks for trying!

I made it, Jennifer! And I used vanilla flavored almond milk. It was divine. Thanks for the inspiration!

Just wanted to let you know I was stopping by to take a look at this recipe again b/c I plan to make it tomorrow morning. My husband and daughter both said, “Ew!” when I mentioned it to them. But I’m sure it will be delicious. Thanks!

HI Winne – I want to say that we are similar in the way we ‘react’ and I am thrilled to know you – love to chat anytime.

I thought I was the only one who put banana in coffee shakes! So great to see you again this weekend 🙂
Mary@Everyday Baby Steps says
Very nice. I actually considered throwing coffee in my banana smoothie, but added peanut butter instead. Next time! Hope you’re feeling all better, Chipmunk Cheeks. 🙂
