Banoffee Shake

Author Notes: Along with making my lunch and helping prepare dinner with my mother, I was also responsible for making the morning coffee even before I began drinking it formally. I grew up a coffee lover and recall being given milky coffee at home and at the diner by my dad. Coffee ice cream was also a favorite. I almost died when I tasted espresso and cappucino for the first time in the 80's.
My dad is responsible for this creation. We sometimes had leftover coffee which was stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator. He went through a period of time where he was making smoothies as part of his breakfast. I loved the mix of sweet banana and the sharpness of coffee. I'd be inclined to try this with coconut and add some rum now also but maybe not for breakfast. - testkitchenette

This sounds great! So easy to do. I always freeze my leftover bananas. Yesterday I started a batch of coffee ice cubes for a coffee lassi idea. This morning I decided to add a fresh banana to it. I had not thought of the frozen banana idea for it!

Thanks, Sagegreen! I always freeze my bananas as well. My mom used to do it for banana bread too. Looking forward to seeing your coffee lassi!
