Funny Runny Honey and Banana Milkshake

There’s a certain charm to a proper milkshake, frothy, sweet and poured into a tall glass that clinks against a metal mixer. When our eldest went through her “no healthy food, thank you” phase, we borrowed a page from those old milk bars and rebranded banana and honey as Funny Hunny. It worked like magic. The name made her laugh, the milkshake made her smile, and we never looked back. With its smooth banana sweetness, a drizzle of honey and a hint of nostalgia, it’s the kind of shake that belongs on a Formica counter beside a striped paper straw.
