milkshakes

The doctor said any way the Kid gets calcium is fine. Be it yogurt, cheese or ICE CREAM MILKSHAKES. Damn her for saying that out loud cause now all I hear is, “The doctor said I need milkshakes.” Yeah, yeah.
ingredients
3 scoops vanilla ice cream
1-1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Put all ingredients in a blender. Blend. I like mine a little thick – runny ain’t my thing, so I don’t blend for long. I like the hemmorage effect I get when I try to get it up the straw.

As always, top with whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry and you are good to go.

That there is your standard vanilla milkshake. You can even leave out the vanilla (as I do with the boys) and it tastes just fine. But you can change that thing a million delicious ways:

Chocolate:
Add 3-4 tablespoons of chocolate syrup
Chocolate malted:
3-4 Tablespoons chocolate syrup
2 teaspoons malt powder
Strawberry shake:
substitute strawberry ice cream
also add 1/2 cup frozen strawberries.
peppermint shake:
1-2 drops peppermint extract
some crushed peppemint candies
Oreo shake:
2 Tablespoons chocolate syrup
6-7 Oreo cookies

I could go on, but it’s really endless, just start with the base and add. Peanut butter. Candies. Fruits. What have you. In the end, you are eating ice cream. And that’s really life’s goal, right?
