My Milkshake Menu

Last night I had my oral surgery to remove all 4 wisdom teeth and I have to say it could have been much worse! I actually feel ok and I believe the worst part will be not being able to eat much solid food for a while. So I'm getting creative with my soft/liquid menu and fixing up a couple of non-traditional milkshakes.

Please note:

*I generally prefer malts so I usually add original Malted Milk to my shakes, but if you don't prefer malts you can simply omit!

**These recipes won't have exact measurements since I just wing it, but you can add & blend to your own taste & texture likings. I think I averaged about 3 scoops of ice cream and a cup or so of skim milk per serving.

Monkey Shake Recipe

This is inspired by my generous colleague, Emily, who gave me a gift bag full of all of the ingredients to make Monkey Shakes prior to my surgery.

• Vanilla Ice Cream
• 1 small Banana
• Chocolate Syrup
• Shot of brewed coffee or espresso
• Milk

Vanilla Cupcake Shake

This is inspired by my leftover pink vanilla frosted valentine cupcakes I made which were taunting me, begging to be consumed (if not chewed) last night.

• Vanilla Ice Cream
• 1 whole Frosted & Sprinkled Vanilla Cupcake
• Milk
• 2 tablespoons of Original Malted Milk

Cheesecake Milkshake

I have yet to try this one, but it was a suggestion from my friend, Lori, who said these saved her life last year while she had her jaw wired shut.

• Vanilla Ice Cream
• Scoop of Philadelphia Ready-To-Eat Cheesecake Filling
• Milk
• *maybe Malted Milk...we'll see!

So those are my three, unique milkshake recipes so far. If anyone out there has any other fun recipes to share, please do!
