Milkshake Recipes

Milkshakes are probably some of the simplest and most delicious desserts that manage to enchant both children and adults alike. Quick and easy to make, milkshakes are a true guilty pleasure we like to indulge in once in a while. Try these delicious recipes next time when you're in a mood for something sweet.

With milkshakes so popular nowadays, we might be tempted to think they are a relatively new dessert. However, references to milkshakes as a dessert have been used since the early 1900s. In more recent years the popularity of these delicious beverages has skyrocketed thanks to the great variety of ingredients that can be now purchased to enhance the flavor of this savory dessert.

Among the most popular milkshake flavors, chocolate, vanilla and strawberries rank as definite favorites. Although traditional milkshakes also use ice cream, those who want to enjoy this dessert without having to worry too much about calories can make several alterations to lower both the fat and the calories content of this healthy beverage.

 
Using low fat milk or soy, almond milk, skipping ice cream or other similar additions altogether are just a few examples that show the great variety of possibilities we have when it comes to customizing these recipes. Here are some simple recipes of some of the most beloved milkshakes:
