Smoothies or Milkshakes depending on where you come from in the world, I loved strawberry milkshakes in the summer as a kid with our fresh strawberries from the garden, I like to add ice cream to my milkshakes because it gives a beautiful creamy texture.
This drink is probably the oldest ice & creamy drink, mixing fruit with cream and ice. The most popular fruit used is probably Strawberry or banana, but you can use anything you want. Sometimes a milkshake is called smoothies which actualy is technically wrong as a smoothie should be without any dairy products and some drinks labeled smoothies are made with Yoghurt which still is not a smoothie even if it’s labeled a Yoghurt Smoothie again not really a smoothie. Using yogurt is a recipe called a Lassi.
So let me put the facts down as i see them,
- a Milkshake is with milk or ice-Cream and most of the time some fruit
- a Smoothie is without dairy products and just fruit and ice
- a Lassi is with yogurt and sometimes fruit.
so no ice-cream definitely
What’s the best fruit for a milkshake?
Banana, Strawberry, Blueberry, Peach, Lychee, Mango, Guava, Passion fruit, Papaya, plus anything of your choice, I dare you to try Jack fruit or Durian it’s absolutely gorgeous and worth a go, but it will smell your house or bar out and don’t try just fruit you can even use any type of your favourite cookies, add chocolate syrup, and yogurts or even Peanut butter.
Example blends:
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Syrup
Golden Syrup & banana
Strawberry and Philadelphea Cheese
You can be adventuraous with Milkshakes
