Equipment
You'll need a high speed blender to make this milkshake - that's it! I like using my Kitchenaid blender, but any blender will work as long as it's able to blend until the mixture is smoothed.
Storage
For the best results, make and enjoy this milkshake fresh. If you do have to store it, be sure to store it in an airtight container and keep it in the freezer. Then just thaw until its drinkable.
You can also freeze in a popsicle mold for a great handheld dessert!
Common Questions
This could be for a number of reasons. Make sure that you are blending the fruit well so that there ae no fruit pieces. And if you add ice cubes, which are optional, you need to make sure that you blend really well or there will be chunks of ice in the milkshake mixture.Â
​It's really up to the thickness of the milkshake. Technically, you're supposed to drink a milkshake with a straw, but if it's too thick, then eating it with a spoon is the way to go. Both ways still give you that delicious flavor and taste and are a great way to enjoy your creation.
You can add whipped cream, mini chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, or even fresh or frozen raspberries right on top. It's up to you to customize this simple recipe to what you like!Â
