Bao the panda loves bananas so much that they wear banana-print pajamas, so this shake had to be Bao’s. Spotty brown bananas give the sweetest flavor; if yours are still yellow, add a teaspoon of honey.
Kitchen math: ask your kids how many cookies you need for two pandas with two ears each, then check by counting them out.
