Malted Milkshakes are my favorite easy sweet treat! This Chocolate Banana Malt is thrown together in minutes with only 5 ingredients, it doesn’t get any better! Follow the recipe and make your favorite flavor.
Malted Milkshake (Chocolate Banana)
This malt milkshake is so easy to make. It’s perfect for summer nights and fun treats. I love this chocolate banana malt flavor, but you can use this same recipe for other flavors too!
I have a feeling we are in for a LONG hot Summer here in Missouri. I thought Florida was hot when I lived there, but at least there you have an ocean out your window. Here in Missouri, we are landlocked and burning up day after day.
In the Midwest, you have to get creative to keep cool. Some ideas include blow-up pools, sprinkler parties, and adult slip and slides. Don’t judge! It is HOT!
Those options are all fun, but since I hate hate hate being in a swimsuit, I would rather eat ice cream all day as a way to cool off. Or sip milkshakes. YUM. Win-win if you ask me!
Chocolate Banana Malt
I have a favorite place to get milkshakes here in St. Louis, and they are known for their Banana Chocolate Malts.
I just had to figure out how to make it for myself at home, or I knew I wouldn’t make it through this long summer. Lucky for me (for ALL OF US), I’ve cracked the code! This Chocolate Banana Malt Milkshake will be made time and time again at our house. It’s delicious, SUPER EASY, and ice cold. What more can a girl ask for?
I just love the combination of chocolate and banana. It’s the perfect mix of fruity, sweet, and decadent indulgence. The banana part is healthy, so it balances out the rest of the drink, right?
How to Make a Malt Milkshake
This malted milkshake recipe is super easy! Just a couple of quick steps and you’ve got a delicious ice cream treat for dessert!
- Combine all ingredients (bananas, milk, chocolate syrup, vanilla ice cream, malted milk powder, malted milk balls) in a high-powered blender.
- Blend until fully combined and creamy. *For a thinner shake, add more milk.
- Pour into glasses and enjoy!
So simple! You could follow this same recipe to make any kind of malt with different flavors. Don’t like banana? Make a regular chocolate malt. Or add strawberries into the mix, skip the chocolate syrup, try a different flavor of ice cream. Get creative!
I really love malt milkshakes, and I think you will too!
What is a Malt Shake?
A malt is a type of milkshake. The only difference is that a malt uses Malted Milk Powder in addition to the other ingredients. This just adds a bit more richness (which makes it all the better!). If you’ve ever had Whoppers, those are malted milk balls, so it gives a similar flavor.
You could make this same recipe without the malted milk powder (if you don’t have any) for a regular chocolate banana milkshake.
If you’re struggling to stay cool this summer, this Chocolate Banana Malt Milkshake is just what you need. You better make a double batch, I have a feeling you won’t be able to drink just one! This dessert will keep anyone happy, no matter what the weather is like.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
