Peanut butter is a classic addition to sandwiches, but did you know that you could add it to a milkshake as well? You can even add other classic peanut butter combos (such as chocolate and peanut butter or banana and peanut butter) for an even tastier milkshake. If you are vegan or lactose-intolerant, don't worry, you can still make and enjoy a peanut butter milkshake too!

[Edit]Steps
[Edit]Making a Basic Peanut Butter Milkshake
- Measure out 2 cups (288 grams) of vanilla ice cream into a blender. If you don't like vanilla ice cream, you can use chocolate instead. This will create the base for your milkshake.
- Pour in ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of milk. You can use any type of milk: non-fat, 2%, or whole milk. If you'd like a thinner milkshake, you can use up to ½ cup (120 milliliters) of milk.
- Top it off with 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of peanut butter. Try to use the smooth, creamy kind and not the chunky kind. It will be easier to blend and give you a smoother milkshake in the end.
- Close the blender and blend until everything is smooth and evenly mixed together. There should be no streaks or swirls of unmixed ingredients. If the blender isn't blending smoothly enough, pause it, and use a rubber spatula to push any unmixed milkshake down the sides.
- Pour the milkshake into one or two tall glasses and serve it immediately. If you'd like, you can garnish it with a generous swirl of whipped cream and drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce on top.
[Edit]Making a Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake
- Measure out 2 cups (288 grams) of chocolate ice cream and add it into a blender. You can use plain chocolate ice cream, or you can use a fancier kind with chocolate or caramel swirled into it. This will create the base of your milkshake.
- Pour in 1 cup (240 milliliters) of milk. You can use any type of milk you want: non-fat, 2%, or whole. For a thicker milkshake, use ½ (120 milliliters) of milk instead.
- Add ⅓ cup (85 grams) of peanut butter. Try to use the smooth, creamy kind and not the chunky kind. It will be much easier to blend and give you a smoother drink in the end.
- Top it off with 5 to 7 ice cubes. This will make your milkshake nice and thick. If you'd like a thinner milkshake, use only 3 to 4 ice cubes instead. Consider using ice cubes made from frozen milk instead of frozen water; this way, you won't have to worry about your milkshake getting too watered down.
- Close the blender, and blend until smooth. Keep blending until all the ice has broken up and all of the ingredients have been mixed together. There should be no lumps, clumps, streaks or swirls. If your blender is not blending evenly, pause it, and use a rubber spatula to scrape down any unmixed milkshake back down towards the bottom.
- Pour the milkshake into two tall glasses and serve it immediately. For a fancier touch, you can garnish each milkshake with a swirl of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.
[Edit]Making a Banana Peanut Butter Milkshake
- Add 2 cups (288 grams) of vanilla ice cream into a blender. This will create the base for your milkshake. You can also use chocolate ice cream instead for a different twist. For an extra special treat, try chocolate ice cream that has chocolate sauce or caramel swirled into it.
- Pour in ½ cup (120 milliliters) of milk. You can use any type of milk you like: non-fat, 2%, or whole. For a thinner milkshake, use up to 1 cup (240 milliliters) of milk. You will be adding a frozen banana to the milkshake, which will thicken it up considerably.
- Add ⅓ cup (85 grams) of smooth peanut butter and ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of chocolate sauce. If you are using vanilla ice cream, you can also try some honey or caramel instead. For the peanut butter, make sure that you are using the smooth, creamy kind and not the chunky kind. It will be easier to blend and give you a smoother treat in the end.
- Top it off with a frozen, sliced banana. This will not only give your milkshake an extra burst of flavor, but it will also replace the ice and give the milkshake some extra thickness.
- Close the blender ,and blend until everything is smooth and evenly combined. Keep blending until the banana has completely broken up. There should be no lumps, clumps, streaks, or swirls. If the milkshake is not blending well enough, pause the blender, and use a rubber spatula to scrape any unblended milkshake down the sides of the canister and towards the bottom.
- Pour the milkshake into two tall glass and serve it immediately. For an extra special touch, garnish it with a swirl of whipped cream on top and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Place a thin banana slice on the rim and pop in a straw.
[Edit]Making a Vegan Peanut Butter Milkshake
- Put a peeled, sliced, and frozen banana into a blender. This will not only give your milkshake some extra flavor, but it will also replace the ice cream using in traditional milkshakes.
- Add 2 tablespoons (30 grams) natural peanut butter. Try to use the salted kind to help cut down on the sweetness of the milkshake. If you don't mind the extra sweetness, then you can use the regular, unsalted peanut butter. Also, try to use the smooth and creamy kind of peanut butter; it will be easier to blend and give you a smoother milkshake in the end.
- Top it off with 1 tablespoon (5 grams) cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder. You can typically find it in the baking section of a grocery store. Because this is pure cacao/cocoa, it does not have any milk or dairy added to it. Avoid using any chocolate milk mix; that does have dairy in it.
- Finish off with 3 to 4 ice cubes, and blend until smooth. Don't add in the milk just yet; you will be doing that last. Keep blending the milkshake until the banana and ice have all broken up, and all of the ingredients are evenly mixed together. You may have to pause the blender, and use a rubber spatula to push any unmixed milkshake towards the bottom.
- Blend in the milk, ½ cup (120 milliliters) at a time. The more milk you add, the thinner your milkshake will be. Plan on using 1 to 1 ½ cups (240 to 360 milliliters) of milk. Unsweetened almond milk is recommended, but you can use any other type of non-dairy milk, such as cashew or soy. You can even use a flavored almond milk, such as vanilla.
- Pour the milkshake into one or two tall glasses and serve it immediately. For a special touch, pop a thin banana slice onto the rim, and garnish the top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
