Okay, confession time: I'm obsessed with cookies and cream. Like, REALLY obsessed. So, naturally, I had to create a smoothie version of this dreamy dessert. And let me tell you, this recipe is a game-changer. It's creamy, dreamy, and ridiculously easy to make! I first came up with this after a crazy day of work, I was exhausted and needed something delicious and quick!
This smoothie isn't just for the sweet tooth. It's packed with potassium from the bananas, which is great for energy and muscle function. And, let's be honest, it's a fantastic way to sneak some fruit into your day, even if that fruit is disguised as a decadent treat. My friend Sarah, who's a fitness fanatic, swears by this recipe for a post-workout boost..

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather your ingredients! Make sure everything's within easy reach. You don't want to be running around mid-blend.
- If using frozen bananas, let them sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. This helps with blending, trust me on this one..
- Add the milk (or your chosen milk alternative) to the blender first, then toss in your bananas. It's much easier to scrape the sides clean this way!
- Next, add the cookies. Break them up a little with your hands if they're big or too hard to blend easily.
- Give it a good whirl! Start on a low speed, gradually increasing to high until you achieve your desired consistency. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes.
- Pour into a glass. You could add a dollop of whipped cream or some extra crushed cookies on top for an extra treat! (My personal favorite)
- Admire your work! Seriously, take a moment to appreciate the beautiful, creamy, deliciousness you've just created. Then, enjoy! It's seriously so yummy!
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of ice and milk according to your preference and the ripeness of your banana.
- Don't be afraid to experiment! Add a splash of vanilla extract, some cocoa powder, or even a pinch of salt to make it your own!
- The amount of cookies you add depends entirely on your preference. I like a LOT of cookie flavor, but you can do less if you want
