Banana Peanut Shake Heaven

We first became aware of the Banana Peanut Shake possibility because of Big Chill. It's probably one of the least ordered compared to the usual Mango Shake, but when we tried it, it's a nice enough refreshment, yes, yes.

It's actually a better option than mango shake, when 1) the movie is starting in 5 mins, and you havent had dinner yet. 2) you need to go to the gym, and you dont want to wait one hour after a full meal before working out.

But Big Chill's concoction is inconsistent, depending on how big was the banana supplied that day (they put just one lakatan regardless of size), how much ice was poured in, and how pulverized the peanut became after the osterizing.

And so, at home, we make it a point to be ready to make a more premium version whenever we can. This means no banana scrimping, and then we use Peter Pan Crunchy peanut butter (instead of dry peanuts) and add a bit of Alaska evap as bonus.

But then, we just came from CDO and had these--

Iligan's pride Cheding's roasted peanut. Taste is close to cashew.

Smallest mani. Sweet.

And then from Trinoma, Talampunay bought this big, slender, beautiful banana. (smooth-to-the touch skin, aah)

It is organic eklat eklabush yes, but the taste is truly different from ordinary lacatan. Just right on the sweetness department and doesnt attack your tongue with big banana flavor.

So add the ingredients, plus a bit of Alaska (the one with the scary boy on the label, not the evaporada type). And then some ice....

Equals banana peanut heaven.

Just make sure to grind the pebbles of peanut (from Peter Pan crunchy) and ice sufficiently. Let the mixture (more like a colloid) shake for a while.

Creamiest smoothiest bestest banana drink. No sugar necessary. The truest, most elegant Banana Peanut shake that you can get on earth.
