To make up for the lack of Ellie recipes lately, I'm determined to crank out a few over the next couple of weeks. This one combined my love of Ellie with my love of frozen drinks. Alex and I were going to make it as a snack once we got home, but it was -3 today and we were exposed to the elements for a long, long, long time so we whipped this up after thawing for a couple of hours. My gosh, was it ever good. I am pleased to say that my contribution to preparing this drink was measuring out the ice and chopping up a banana, Alex did the rest!!!! It was the perfect combination of banana, vanilla, chocolate, and ice! Rating 8/10.
