Nothing says summertime like a creamy, ice cold milkshake. Whether at the end of a hot day spent outdoors, or as a convenient mid-day dessert, it’s no doubt that milkshakes are an American favorite.
And, if you’re like my dad or my late uncle, your favorite milkshake flavor is carved in stone. For them, there’s just no wiggle room.
For my uncle, it was chocolate. If anyone announced a trip to our local ice cream shop, you couldn’t even get out the full statement without his welcomed, predictable, interrupting reply of, “Hey, get me a chocolate milkshake!”
How about you? Do you stick to the classic flavors like chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla. Or, have you ventured out a bit further?
What about a coffee milkshake? One look at today’s ice cream shops or restaurant dessert menus tells us that coffee isn’t just served hot as part of our morning routine anymore.
And, the best part is, you don’t have to go to a fancy ice cream shop, or travel back in time to an authentic diner, to enjoy such a tasty treat!
And, if you don’t want to enjoy such treats to the detriment of your health and waistline...check out the “for your health” section under each recipe for ways to customize it, thus optimizing the health benefits.
