We are currently enjoying Minion madness here in the mad house after watching The Minions last week. We all love the minions, we have done since we first saw Despicable Me. If you know anything about Minions then you know that our lovable sidekicks love bananas, so they are a big part of our Minions Milkshake.
Smoothies are all the rage at the moment, but we love milkshakes. They have a retro feel and take me back to my childhood when a milkshake was a real treat.
How to make a Minions Milkshake
Ingredients:
- Banana
- Frubes (We used strawberry, but the new limited edition banana ones would be great too)
- Milk
- Ice
- Ice cream (optional)
Method:
We used one banana and two frubes per 250ml of milk.
Peel and chop the banana. Bananas are a great way to introduce children to knife skills. they are soft enough to use a plastic lettuce knife to chop (UK Link/US Link).
Blend together the milk, ice, frubes (yogurt) and a couple of cubes of ice. We are big fans of our Philips stick blender (UK Link/US Link). We had had ours since 2010 and it is used a LOT and is still in great condition and perfect for using with kids.
Add a scoop of ice cream if you are feeling extravagant!
We were sent a voucher for some Frubes and also a cinema voucher thanks to Frubes and will be joining them on a special sleepover at Whipsnade Zoo’s Lookout Lodge over the summer holidays.
I can really recommend taking the kids to see the minions movie. We took five boys aged from 7 to 11 and we all loved it, yes even the two adults. It was ace and a real giggle!

Having a “lightbulb moment” here. I had no idea those jars with straws were intended for milkshakes – makes a LOT of sense now!!
I’m not sure the frubes would make it into the milkshake in our household. The kids love it too much.
Well done for getting your boys chopping themselves and involved in the process! I do this too and think they should develop good knife skills at a young age to stop them being scared of the kitchen in later years. I never did cooking or baking with my mother and left home not knowing how to cook. I was determined this would never happen with my two so I get them involved as well!
My son would really enjoy making and drinking this. It’s great to see children preparing their own snacks and drinks. We are obsessed with the minions here so this is ideal for our household 🙂
This looks tasty and nutritious. A great way to get your children to drink milk and eat fruit 🙂
My son its nuts on them every day its Bananansssss lol.
Bet the shake tasted better for having made it himself. Wish I could get my son to drink milk.
We love the Minions too – they’re so funny! I love the jar, it’s so cute! This is such a nice simple recipe to get kids started with – especially the chopping of the banana.
I think a Minion milkshake must just be the best type of milkshake.
We’re looking forward to seeing the Minions movie in the school holidays – they are brilliant characters.
Naturally I have pinned this. We love Minions and cannot wait to go and see the new film this summer.
I would like this milkshake too! Sleepover at the zoo sounds very interesting!!
Mine keep nagging me to make milkshake – never thought of using Frubes – have you seen the bigger minion Frubes? Mine love them
This summer has been all about those stinky cute minions, hasn’t it :-)? We haven’t watched the movie yet but we will soon and we will probably have another minion convert on our hands ;-)! The milkshake looks yum and the apparel so, so sweet!xx
My boys love frubes will have to try this! It’s a great way to get my eldest drinking more milk, milkshake he loves milk on its own, not so much! x
My boys are minion crazy so would love that! The craft ideas all look fab too!
Love the minion making face! We’re minion fans here too so we must have a look at this – fabulous ideas. We must go and see the movie, not quite made it yet!
