# Instructions:
01 -
Place two tall glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes while you gather the ingredients. Cold glasses help the syrup streaks hold and keep the shake thick.
02 -
Add the bananas, vanilla ice cream, strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream, and 1 cup milk to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more milk a splash at a time only if needed.
03 -
Drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside walls of each chilled glass so it runs down in streaks.
04 -
Divide the milkshake between the glasses. Add a tall swirl of whipped cream and drizzle with strawberry syrup.
05 -
Top with strawberries, raspberries, banana slices, chopped nuts, granola, chocolate wafers, and a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately while cold and thick.
# Good to know:
