Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup of whole milk, and the malted milk powder (if using).

Notes

  • For a chocolate milkshake, add 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup to the blender.
  • For a strawberry milkshake, blend in some fresh strawberries or strawberry syrup.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter for a rich and nutty flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free ice cream and plant-based milk (such as almond, oat, or soy milk).
