Three Guys From Miami: Cuban and Spanish Food Recipes
Jorge Castillo: Batidos are Cuban milkshakes, similar to American Style shakes, but with several unusual flavors.

Glenn Lindgren: The most popular are probably the many tropical flavors: mango, mamey, guanabana.

Jorge Castillo: One we particularly like is the batido de trigo or wheat shake.

Glenn Lindgren: You might ask: "Wheat in a milk shake?" But think of the tasty puffed wheat cereal from your not-too-distant childhood and you'll get an idea of what the batido de trigo tastes like.

Jorge Castillo: It's a unique flavor you just won't find anywhere else!

Batidos - Cuban Milkshakes


Batido de Plátano -- Cuban Banana Milkshake

By Three Guys From Miami

Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 10 minutes
Yield: Varies

Batidos are Cuban milkshakes, similar to American Style milkshakes, but with several unusual flavors.


1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
1/2 cup crushed ice
1 large ripe banana

Put everything in the blender except the ice and process until frothy. Add the crushed ice and process until the ice is ground fine and the batido is thick and rich.

TIP: If you have time, you can freeze your fruit and omit the crushed ice, for a thicker, richer shake. Just cube the fruit or cut it in smaller chunks and freeze. You may also find frozen fruit chunks (not pulp) at your local market. If using frozen pulp -- because your local grocer does not carry exotic fruits, but the local Latin market sells pulp -- allow the pulp to thaw slightly. Break the pulp into smaller chunks to accomodate your blender.
NOTE: The sweetened condensed milk is a very Cuban addition. You may omit this ingredient by substituting an equal amount of sugar or to your own taste.
