Can i make a banana smoothie without a blender?

Question

Do you think i could make a banana smothie without a belnder?because i dont have a blender i have bananas milk and ice can i just squish the bananas?

Answer 1

If you had the time you could probably mush the banana, icecream, milk etc. together with a fork or potato masher, but it wouldn't be a 'smoothie' more like a 'lumpy'.

I have the same problem. I really feel like one but our blenders, food processors and the sort seem to be going missing...Mysterious.

Answer 2

no because the ice will not have the right consistency without one, it will just be mushy.

Answer 3

If you were really desperate, you could mash up the banana, and put it and the milk into a bowl or jug and whip it really fast with a (I just forgot what the actual word is - the thing commonly used to whip cream, with lots of metal around it - egg beater?). The issue you'd have is with the ice - only a blender is able to get it to a really smooth consistency of crushed ice - you could put it inside a tea towel and bash at it with a meat pulveriser. But you'd be unlikely to get the same results as a blended banana smoothie.

Sorry my answer seems to ramble and not make too much sense.

Oh I just thought. If you have an electric mixer for use with cakes and baking, you could give that a go.
