Here's a recipe for a banana milkshake that is frothy and tasty, while being on the healthy side. It's thick enough to fill you up, but is non-fattening. The ingredients are simple. All you need is:

- a whole banana
- ice
- fat-free milk
- vanilla (optional)
- cinnamon (optional)
- flax seed (optional)

Throw the chopped up banana, ice (fill to about a quarter of the blender), fat-free milk (fill to about another quarter), a couple teaspoons of vanilla and cinnamon, and about 1/4 cup of flax seed into a blender and mix well (make sure all the ice is blended). When finished, pour into a tall glass and garnish with cinnamon.

For a thicker shake, try two whole bananas. For a thinner shake, add more milk. The shake is delicious with cinnamon and vanilla, but it still tastes great even without those ingredients. The flax seed is a healthy addition, but is also not necessary. For an extra tasty version, top with whip cream and garnish the whip with cinnamon. I hope you like it!
