Notes

  • Customization: Adjust the sweetness and consistency based on your preference by adding more milk or sweetener.
  • Substitutions: You can use dairy-free ice cream and milk (like almond, oat, or coconut milk) for a vegan version.
  • Peanut Butter Type: Choose natural peanut butter without added sugar or hydrogenated oils for a healthier option.
  • Consistency: For a thicker milkshake, add extra ice cream; for a thinner one, add more milk.
  • Serving: Milkshakes are best served immediately while fresh and frosty.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but it’s best enjoyed fresh for the optimal texture.
  • Allergies: Be mindful of peanut allergies; you can substitute the peanut butter with other nut butters or a seed butter if needed.
