Finally it’s Friday – YAY. I have the perfect, cooling down drink, especially if you are under exam pressure in hot weather. Or just fancy a delicious, fruit packed drink at the end of a long week. Let me introduce you to my Raspberry Banana Ice Cream Smoothies!
Only 4 ingredients are needed to make this yummy, thick, ice cream smoothie. I made these for us last night, after the children had finished another long, hot day, at school, sitting exams. They absolutely loved them, as did I – obviously I have to check what I make just to ensure it tastes good/won’t poison them/cos I wanted to!!!!!
This ice cream smoothie is the perfect treat during a long day of revision, after returning home from school or the office – any reason to celebrate Friday!!!
Now let’s get on with how to make this luscious smoothie!
Recipe : Makes 4 Large Smoothies
3 Ripe Bananas
300g/11oz Frozen Raspberries
500ml/1 pint Vanilla Ice Cream – I use Mackies Organic Vanilla Ice Cream
250ml/1/2 pint Milk – I used Whole milk
Pour your Raspberry Banana Ice Cream Smoothies into tall glasses, add a straw and slurp!
These really are delicious, using frozen raspberries is much cheaper, however if you have an abundance of fresh berries, by all means use them.

While they may not be super ‘healthy’ matcha tea green smoothies, they are packed with fruit. Since eating and drinking is all about balance I have no problem making these as an occasional treat. Especially when the weather is as hot as it is today!
Since I am already thinking of other flavour combinations, I’d love to hear your ideas?

Thank you for stopping by-this looks delicious. I love the pink shade. Raspberries have the prettiest colour when blended.
Thank you Esme, they really looked pretty and tasted yummy too!
Mmmm looks delicious! Love the flavor combo!
Thanks Julie, thinking up other flavour combos as I type – the list is endless!!
I’ve never actually put ice cream into a smoothie before, I definitely want to try it now though, they look amazing! You could try peanut butter and banana smoothies if none of you are allergic to nuts 🙂
