Milk shake

Milkshake is a cold, sweet beverage that is usually made from milk, ice cream, or iced milk, and flavorings or sweeteners such as fruit syrup or chocolate sauce. Milkshakes are typically served in a tall glass with a straw, and whipped cream may be added as a topping. Some popular flavors include vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.

History[edit | edit source]

The term "milkshake" was first used in the late 19th century to describe a healthful drink made of milk, egg, sugar, and whiskey. By the early 20th century, the term was being used to describe a drink made with chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla syrups. In the 1930s, the invention of the electric blender led to the creation of the modern milkshake.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

Milkshakes are made by blending milk, ice cream, and flavorings or sweeteners in a blender until smooth. The mixture is then poured into a glass and served with a straw. Some milkshakes may also include additional ingredients, such as fruit, nuts, or whipped cream.

Variations[edit | edit source]

There are many variations of the milkshake, including the malted milkshake, which includes malted milk powder, and the thick shake, which is made with less milk to produce a thicker consistency. In some regions, milkshakes may also be made with frozen yogurt or soy milk.

Health considerations[edit | edit source]

While milkshakes can be a source of calcium and protein, they are often high in sugar and calories. Some health-conscious individuals may choose to make milkshakes with low-fat milk or ice cream, or to use sugar substitutes.
