How To Make a Peanut Butter Milkshake
Lynn's Tip!
This recipe makes one large milkshake or two small milkshakes. This is a great recipe to double or triple to serve a crowd!
How Can I Thicken the Milkshake?
To change the texture of the milkshake, add some extra ice cream or a handful of ice cubes. This will make the milkshakes really thick and creamy. A thicker milkshake is great for eating with a spoon in a large glass.
If you prefer a thinner milkshake, add some extra milk. This might be easier for kids to enjoy since it will be easier to drink out of a straw.
