Author Notes
You already have all these ingredients in your house, so there's no excuse not to make this today. Actually, you should make it in a few days, because you want your bananas to be super-ripe, like fully brown—the same way you want them for banana pudding, banana bread, or banana cream pie. There isn't anything you need to worry about for presentation for this one, because everything just gets blended up together. This drink is fantastic in the late afternoon. When those pre-dinner hunger pangs hit, this will tide you over and give your mood a little lift, too.
