As the mercury is rising across the country, people are finding ways to beat the heat. People generally opt for hydrating drinks and shakes during the hot summer months. There is nothing like indulging in delicious and refreshing smoothies, mocktails, cocktails, and milkshakes.
When it comes to milkshakes, just adding flavours to the milk may not seem to be too much fun. If you want a creamy, rich milkshake, you must make it thicker. Wondering how? The most common way is to add ice cream to your milkshakes. However, if you do not want ice cream and the added calories it provides, you can opt for other options as well. From experimental to classic, you can indulge in the iconic cool treats to achieve respite from the heat waves. Here are six thick milkshakes you can enjoy in the summer season.
- Caramel Candy Bar Shake
In the hot summer months, enjoy the coolness of the luscious Caramel Candy Bar Shake. You can make this by blending together vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and chunks of your favouite candy bars such as Snickers. Pour the milkshake in a glass and top it with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a candy bar.
- Mango Chia Seeds Shake
Summer seems to be incomplete without a mango milkshake. This mango milkshake can be made without ice cream. Instead, opt for chia seeds which will make the milkshake thicker. First and foremost, soak chia seeds overnight in milk. In a blender, add mango, creamy coconut milk, and honey for sweetness. After everything is blended, add the overnight soaked chia seeds to it. Add more milk if required. Your Mango Chia Seeds Milkshake is ready. Serve with ice cubes.
- Thick Cake Shake
Nothing can look thicker than the thick cake shakes. To make this shake, all you need is slices of your favourite cake – chocolate, red velvet, or butter scotch. Add the cake in a blender and some milk to it. The outcome will be a smooth, thick, and creamy milkshake. You can garnish it by drizzling some extra cake on top. Enjoy with a straw.
- Strawberry Cheesecake Shake
This is another milkshake that moves beyond the regular ones. To make this, blend creamy cheesecake with fresh strawberries, milk, and ice cubes to achieve a smooth, velvety shake. You can add whipped cream over the shake or top it with chunks of fresh strawberries. You can enjoy the drink on a lazy summer afternoon.
- Peanut Butter Banana Shake
You can make this protein-rich milkshake by not using ice cream. This milkshake is thickened with the help of peanut butter, froze fruits, and frozen milk. First, freeze the milk in the ice tray. In a blender add lots of peanut butter, frozen banana, and frozen milk. Blend until smooth. Add more ice cubes if required and blend it again. Your chilled and thick peanut butter shake is ready. Serve the drink by garnishing ripe bananas on top.
- Cookie And Cream Shake
The list of summer-friendly milkshakes will be incomplete without the classic cookies and cream shake. To make this, all you need is creamy vanilla ice cream which is blended with cookies and whole milk. Here whole milk is chosen to make the milkshake thicker. To make the shake thicker, it is important to use more ice cream and cookies and less milk. Pour it into your favourite glass and add a scoop of ice cream on top. You can also add cookie crumble for an extra crunch.
