There’s no better treat than a creamy, ice-cold, milkshake. And no matter what flavor you’re craving, all you need is the right ice cream to milk to flavor booster ratios to make a perfect shake!

Here, you will learn how to make a milkshake perfectly, plus get 7 of my favorite flavor ideas! Because sometimes you need more than just a classic vanilla milkshake.

Green tip: Consider investing in reusable straws! They are easy to clean and will reduce your contribution to plastic waste that eventually ends up in landfills or makes its way into the environment and becomes microplastics.

These stainless steel straws are my favorite!

    1. Hi Elise!

      You can absutely use either fresh or frozen. From a sustainability standpoint, the best option is always buying local, organic, and in-season, but if you are buying fruit out of season, organic frozen fruit is your best option. It will likely be harvested at its peak and have less associated greenhouse gas emissions than imported fresh fruit.
