When money was short and times were tough, my mother still made this banana milk drink for us. We thought it was happiness in a glass. I recall running home from school, hoping to find this delicious drink ready for me.

My friend, Cloetta and I have served this punch for many years at special occasions. I love the banana-citrus flavor. The base can be made days earlier and and frozen. It is so easy.

Categories     Punch Beverage

Time 20m

Yield 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 mashed bananas
2 (12 ounce) cans frozen orange juice
2 (12 ounce) cans frozen lemonade
1 (46 ounce) can pineapple juice
2 cups sugar
6 cups water

Steps:

  • Mix together and freeze in several small containers.
  • Pour 7-up over the frozen mixture and serve as a slush punch.

Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth and creamy texture, ensure your bananas are perfectly ripe. Overripe bananas will add a naturally sweet flavor to your drink, while underripe bananas may result in a sour taste.
  • For a thicker consistency, use frozen bananas instead of fresh ones. Frozen bananas will also contribute to a colder, more refreshing drink.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of milk or yogurt based on your desired consistency. More milk or yogurt will create a thinner, milkshake-like drink, while less will result in a thicker, smoothie-like texture.
  • If you prefer a sweeter drink, add honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup to taste. You can also incorporate other sweeteners like sugar or artificial sweeteners if preferred.
  • Enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your drink by adding other fruits, such as berries, peaches, or mangoes. You can also include leafy greens like spinach or kale for an extra boost of nutrients.
  • For a refreshing twist, add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder to your drink. This will not only amp up the protein content but also add a delicious flavor dimension.
  • If you're looking for a caffeine kick, blend in some cold coffee or espresso with your banana mixture. This will create a delicious and energizing breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up.
  • Garnish your drink with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas for an aesthetically pleasing and indulgent treat.

Conclusion:

The banana smasher drink is a versatile and highly customizable beverage that offers a delightful blend of flavors, textures, and nutritional benefits. With its creamy texture, sweet banana flavor, and endless variations, it's a perfect choice for breakfast, lunch, or a refreshing snack. Whether you prefer a thick smoothie, a creamy milkshake, or a protein-packed energy boost, the banana smasher drink can be tailored to suit your taste and dietary preferences.
