Creamy, naturally sweet and ready in just five minutes, this Vanilla Muesli Milkshake is an easy breakfast drink for mornings when time is tight.
Made with ripe banana, low-fat natural yoghurt, no-added-sugar muesli, skimmed milk and vanilla extract, everything goes straight into the blender and is whizzed until smooth.
The banana brings natural sweetness, the muesli adds wholegrain texture, and the yoghurt and milk create a creamy finish without needing cream or ice cream.

🍌 Vanilla Muesli Milkshake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana
- 150g low-fat natural yoghurt
- 50g muesli, with no added sugar
- 550ml skimmed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
That's it. Five ingredients and no saucepan plotting against your morning schedule. 😄
👩🍳 How to Make a Vanilla Muesli Milkshake
1. Prepare the banana. Peel the ripe banana and slice it directly into your blender.
Using a well-ripened banana will give the finished drink more natural sweetness.
2. Add the remaining ingredients. Add the low-fat natural yoghurt, muesli, skimmed milk and vanilla extract.
3. Blend. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy.
The muesli needs to be thoroughly blended into the milkshake, so give it enough time to break down.
4. Serve immediately. Divide the milkshake evenly between 6 glasses and serve straight away.
No Blender?
Your original recipe also gives a handy alternative: place all the ingredients in a large jug and use a hand-held stick blender until smooth.
🍞 Turn It Into Breakfast
The original recipe suggests serving the milkshake with a slice of wholemeal toast when you want a more substantial breakfast.
That's particularly useful because each of the six milkshake servings is fairly small. If you want this drink to be the entire breakfast rather than part of one, you'd need to adjust the portion accordingly.
📊 Estimated Calories & Nutrition
Based on typical nutritional values for the ingredients and dividing the complete recipe into 6 servings, I'd estimate roughly:
| Per serving | Approx. |
|---|---|
| 🔥 Calories | 100–110 kcal |
| 💪 Protein | ~5g |
| 🌾 Carbohydrates | ~17g |
| 🥑 Fat | ~1–2g |
| 🌿 Fiber | ~1–2g |
These are estimates, not nutrition figures supplied with your original recipe. The exact result depends especially on the muesli, yoghurt, milk and size of the banana.
Also note that the nutrition above does not include the optional wholemeal toast.
💡 Easy Variations
You can use the basic recipe as a starting point and make small changes.
For a colder milkshake, chill the banana and milk before blending. For a slightly thicker texture, let the muesli sit in the milk for a few minutes before blending.
A small pinch of cinnamon would also complement the banana and vanilla nicely.
If you change the ingredients or quantities, though, remember that the calorie estimate will change too.
📸 A Note About Your Photo
The photo we created is deliberately styled to make the drink look beautiful for social media. It shows banana slices, extra muesli, nuts, dried fruit and a honey-like drizzle as decorative toppings.
Those toppings are not included in your original five-ingredient recipe or the estimated calories above.
For the most accurate blog presentation, I would add:
Photo styling includes optional muesli and banana garnish. Additional toppings will change the nutritional values.
