Banana Egg Flip Thick Shake… Who remembers egg flips? My mum used to make egg flips when my sister and I were kids. A simple milkshake with an egg included, maybe some vanilla and nutmeg added for sweetness. I continued this on for my son when he was a baby who loved them also.
Now that I have restarted gym (after a 2 year break, yikes!) I am looking for healthy meals during the day that are tasty and are full of goodies – dinner is my indulgence, after all, I am a foodie.
With a banana too old for me to eat (my bananas have to be just on yellow from green) and an egg in hand, I remembered my mum’s egg flips.
Far better than store bought protein shakes, a Banana Egg Flip Thick Shake is an easy addition to a healthy meal plan.
Although this is a basic recipe, sometimes you just need a little reminder of the simple things…
Drink up!

I remember making these back in the 1960’s. 1 pint whole milk, 1 banana, sugar (forget how much but probably an English tablespoon), 1tsp. vanilla, and 3 ice cubes. Blend until creamy and frothy. Enjoy.
So, so good!
Thank you so much Blondie.
I remember my auntie used to make them for us when we victors her.
I loved them and my children and my husband love them too.
I add ice cubes in as well about 4, in the summer they go down beautiful with the hot weather. Thank again xx
Thank you so much Rose ❤️
How many kcal has the banana egg flip please??
Hi Rose,
There is roughly 105 kcal in a banana, 60 in an egg and 110 in 300ml of skim milk so around 275 kcal in this Banana Egg Flip Thickshake recipe.
I hope this helps 😄
Cheers, Blondie
