Banana Dates Milkshake

Do you like bananas? I know most of you would answer in yes! My family is a banana loving family too. H, Mil , Fil all have minimum two bananas everyday. But I and my elder daughter just detest this fruit. We would prefer to stay hungry but not have this even if this were one of the last options. Somehow I developed a kind of aversion to bananas from my childhood and my elder one has followed my footsteps.

Even though I do not eat them, I want my daughter to have them and this milkshake is a great way to sneak in the bananas. She never realized that the milkshake had bananas until I told her. She was Ok with it and said she can have the fruits if disguised this way :) A perfect way to feed your children something healthy.
