Simo and Cicci recommend
It is preferable to consume the banana smoothie immediately.
To make it more refreshing, you can add ice cubes and also use bananas sliced and frozen to get an even creamier milkshake.
You can replace the vanilla ice cream with custard, fior di latte, or banana ice cream. Or also with coconut or chocolate ice cream.
If you want to create a different banana milkshake every time, try adding peanut or almond butter, or even hazelnut cream or Nutella.
For a lighter smoothie, you can replace the ice cream with yogurt, either Greek or banana-flavored, or in a lactose-free or plant-based variant.
Of course, for those who are lactose intolerant, just use both lactose-free or plant-based milk and ice cream, such as soy, coconut, or almond milk. In this case, it will also be perfect for vegans.
To decorate your banana milkshake, you can also use caramel or chocolate topping or add some cherries or red fruits like strawberries or raspberries.
