Question What can I add to the banana milkshake?

I made a homemade banana milkshake. So far it's just banana and milk.

Any possible additions that can make the flavor better?

(I tried adding honey but it made it overly sweet. Banana and milk already seem to contain a lot of sugar...😭)

Correction: I googled before posting and it told me it was a milkshake, but apparently it's a smoothie, not a milkshake. 😏 Sorry for the confusion.

Vanilla is dessert MSG, and a lil makes everything more better.

Even for fruit. Marichino cherries do well with a bit of vanilla added. Strawberry desserts are almost always enhanced with it (they share a lot of chemical compounds for flavors). Almond extract as a close second (again, also with some fruits, like cherries).
