Easy Milkshake Recipes

Kids love milk shakes any time of the year!

My simple milkshake recipes tip:
Add milk to blender first. Then add ice cream and other ingredients before blending. You might have to stir and blend a little longer than the recipe calls for in order to get it just right. Blend less if you want fruity chunks in your shake. Add less milk for thicker milk shakes.

Flake Shake

1 banana, mashed
caramel ice cream sauce
2 cups milk
3 scoops vanilla ice cream
2 Cadbury chocolate Flake bars*

Blend banana, caramel sauce, milk, and ice cream in a blender. Remove from blender and pour or spoon into a tall glass. Crush/sprinkle one Cadbury Flake on top and then stick one whole Flake in the middle of the shake.

*Note: Cadbury Flake bars are the most delicious candy bars made of thin, flaked crumbly chocolate. They are sold in the UK and Australia, but can be found in gourmet stores in the US. If you can't get a Flake, you can grate some chocolate on top and then stick a Kit Kat in the middle.
