SHAKES

MONKEY LOVER'S SHAKE
I don't normally like bananas in my shakes/smoothies, but this didn't have a strong banana taste. It was really good. The kids loved it! We did use the yellow food coloring. It was fun having it be so yellow in color.

1 1/4 cup milk
2 medium ripe bananas, sliced 1/4" thick and frozen
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/3 cup orange juice concentrate
2-3 T sugar (I used about 1/2 this)
2-3 drops yellow food coloring, optional (we probably added more - the kids were putting it in)

In a blender, combine all ingredients. Cover and blend until smooth. Yield: 4 servings

FHE SHAKE
Not sure the name of this.  The kids didn't really like it (maybe cause they weren't feeling well?) but Scott and I did.  Could use less banana next time but to get same consistency maybe some frozen ice cream or yogurt.

2 frozen bananas, sliced (slice before freezing)
1 1/2 T cocoa
1 cup milk
1 T maple syrup or sugar
1 big T creamy peanut butter
