This is my fav shake! It's made out of seedless mandarins and vanilla ice cream. All you do is scoop out as much ice cream as you want and then put in a can of mandarins!
Instead of using ice cream in your milk shake, take a couple of bananas, chop them up and put them in your freezer. Once they are cold substitute them for ice cream in milk shake recipes. They can be pretty tasty.
This is a recipe for a milkshake made out of a slice of cheesecake.

I use an 8oz. container of any flavor yogurt. Add frozen fruit - any favorites, about 1/4cup milk and honey or sugar to taste. Put in blender and WhaLa!
SMOOTHIE:
This is so simple, I don't measure any ingredients:
(It's also healthy)
Milk
Vanilla Yogurt
Fruit of your choice:
Frozen or fresh strawberries OR
Frozen or fresh banana OR
Fresh mango
Put in blender (drop frozen fruit 1 at a time-easier on blender)
(strawberries & banana together are also good)
(using frozen fruit makes it more frothy, but I often use fresh & it's just as good tasting)
I thicken it up by adding more yogurt or fruit
Vanilla yogart
frozen blueberries
honey
put in blender, mix and enjoy
OOPS....yogurt
Hi, my family uses soy milk (usually vanilla) in a blender with ice, or frozen yoghurt or ice cream and any fruit you like. I also saved up and invested in a very good juicer (don't know if I can say the name) however it is on t.v and the shopping channel frequently, it comes with very nice recipes and a lifetime warrenty...gotta love that.
All measurements are approximate:
8 oz. soy milk (chocolate or vanilla)
1 sliced and frozen banana
honey, to taste
ice, optional
Put all ingredients in blender and blend to the consistency that you like.

My family loves the Mocha shakes we get at Dairy Queen, etc., but at $3.50 a pop for a small, it's way too expensive! We've improvised at home, and now the Mocha Shakes are the favorite drinks of the house.
