What a fun evening we had last night! Wayne and I had bought some prime sirloin steaks and our younger son Patrick grilled them for dinner at their house. He also roasted some cubed potatoes on the grill and we brought salad makings, fresh strawberries, and a watermelon that we didn't cut, but left with them to enjoy this week. It was a meal fit for a King.
Granddaughter Madison soon to be twelve which is so hard to believe, had found a recipe that she wanted to make since they had all of the ingredients, but her daddy told her to wait until after dinner. She showed me the recipe for Elvis Shake and it did look delicious. In fact I took a picture of the recipe so I could make it later for us.
It didn't really register with me that she would make it while we were still there and we would get to sample it ourselves. I'm so glad she did though because it was heavenly. She had sliced the bananas and put them in the freezer in a bag so they would be ready when she made the shake. Now, I can't wait to go buy some bananas and make it for Wayne and me.
Sure to please your kids (and maybe yourself) and it's so easy even a child can make it with a little supervision.
ELVIS SHAKES
2 large bananas, sliced and frozen
1-1/2 cups milk
6 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup crushed ice
slices of banana for garnishing
Prepare the bananas ahead of time. (Place in bag to freeze.)
Place milk and bananas in the blender.
Place lid on top and pulse several times to combine.
Remove the lid and
add the peanut butter,
cinnamon,
honey, and
crushed ice.
Blend until smooth.
Serve into four glasses. Madison wanted to ad chocolate, so her mother Lori, drizzled some chocolate syrup on the inside of the glasses before Madison poured the shake into the glasses.
Add banana slices on a straw or short skewer to garnish.
