I want to make that blended frozen banana thing that everyone swears tastes JUST LIKE ice cream. Except I want it to taste like Vanilla, NOT like banana!

any idea how I can get some serious VANILLA flavor in it? enough to overpower the banana? I'm thinking of doubling down on the vanilla. Like adding real vanilla seeds scraped from a pod AND ALSO vanilla extract. Any other ideas? I just want it to be super vanilla-ey and super creamy. Vanilla.

    Why doesn't he look happy?! Is there something other than ice cream in there? Smashed bananas, perhaps?

    Two words: Peanut Butter

    I do 1 banana, 1 tbsp PB, and 1 tsp vanilla.

    but then I suspect it would taste like peanut butter?
    right?

    I think I might still have a banana in my freezer, from back when I naively thought a frozen banana blended with nuts and chocolate chips could actually taste like ice cream.

    Dude just throw some cocoa and chocolate into it, it's awesome. I feel like vanilla would be difficult because it's generally a weaker taste than banana...
