Following reading on another thread about home made milkshakes (thanks purple kitten - peanut butter and banana). I wondered if anyone else has favourite flavours they make at home.

My ds2 favourite is strawberry, banana and vanilla ice cream. It saves me a fortune making my own.

Anyone else like to share their favourites

    blueberries, chocolate powder, banana and natural yoghurt.........and ice cubes - more of a smoothie than a milk shake but delicious none the less.

    You know the shops which sell milkshakes with anything in it (sweets or chocolate etc) my son goes crazy over them and at £4 a go I can't afford them, so he had me make them.

    He loves skittles in his
    DH loves any chocolate...
    DD had chocolate buttons in hers...
    Me I like Frerro Rocher and kinda bauno :)

    And DS tells me mine are better then at the shop, and I'm making them at £4 for 4 :)

    How unhealthy!!
    We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

    Cherry! JSains sell a wonderful cherry syrup in their polish section (world foods aisle). About 20ml of that and some of the super cheapo basics vanilla icecream (89p i think). Heaven in a glass!

    :rotfl: Glad I could help, I read and re read that post going ohh that;s me :) I've always done the home milkshakes sometimes to just try and use up fruit.

    One I was thinking of trying is a bit more adult "Baileys" based, maybe a bit of nutmeg and cinnamon.
