There are days when dinner feels optional… but a milkshake? NON NEGOTIABLE. Especially in summer when the sun’s blazing, the kids are sticky with sunscreen, and everyone’s just one cranky mood away from a meltdown (us included).
That’s when we pull out the blender and work some magic.
These 17 milkshake recipes are our go to happy makers. We’re talking creamy, cold, slurp worthy goodness from rich chocolate overloads to fresh berry blends and a few wild card flavors we didn’t see coming (but now we’re OBSESSED).
Some are kid friendly, some are sneakily protein packed, and some are just straight up dessert in a glass. No judgment! 🥰
So if your crew needs a little mood boost or you just want an excuse to whip cream something on a Tuesday, this list has your back. Trust us, these shakes are worth the brain freeze.
17 Best Milkshake Recipes to Blend, Sip, and Share All Summer
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from surviving heat waves, picky eaters, and chaotic afternoons, it’s this, milkshakes fix almost everything.
They’re fast, fun, and totally customizable. Got a leftover brownie? Toss it in. Bananas on their last leg? Milkshake. Craving chocolate at 2 p.m.? That’s what blenders are for.
These first few recipes are easy enough for the kids to help with, which means you get entertainment and a treat out of it. Plus, most of them use ingredients you already have in the fridge or pantry.
No need to run to the store, just scoop, pour, blend, and sip. Bonus points if you serve it in a mason jar with a silly straw (not required, but highly encouraged).
Some of our picks are light and fruity, others are full-on dessert mode with whipped cream, sprinkles, and zero regrets. So get those blenders ready, because the milkshake fun starts now, and spoiler alert, you’re going to want to try more than one.
