Awesome, simply awesome!! I did modify it a bit. I added 18 cubes of ice, 2.5 cups of milk, same sugar (but added natural cane sugar), and tossed in 5 frozen stawberries. Blended it until smooth. It tastes awesome!

great recipe. Less thick than with ice cream but thats the price to make it healthier haha. I used only 1/8 cup of sugar, and put in 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder and also sliced up 2 mangos and put it in. It tastes great

I added only 2/4 cup of sugar and I also added 5 frozen strawberries and a half bottle of chocolate syrup. It was very good. You might want a full bottle of syrup though. over all wasn’t very creamy. Also recommended freezing it for 15 minutes for a better texture.

i basically modified the whole recipe. i used 1 cup of half & half and 1 cup of whole milk, two bananas, four ice cubes, some honey, and a dash of vanilla. it came out extremely foamy

I used half the sugar and added half a teaspoon of honey. I also made the vanilla milkshake, poured half into a cup and mixed it with cocoa powder, then poured the vanilla on top. Next time I’m making a neopolitan and adding a strawberry layer!

I only made two servings, 6 cubes of ice, 1 cup of milk, 3/8 cup of sugar, and a tad bit of vanilla extract, but the sugar made it terribly sweet. The foam from blending it was not as sweet as the shake itself, so that brought the rating up, but if I were to try this again, I would probably only 1-2/8 cup of sugar.

This was great! For a fun twist, I used chocolate milk instead of regular milk, and added some cocoa. I also blended in chocolate chips and peppermint extract!

Great idea but for me it was a tad too much sugar, too little ice, and too little vanilla. I used 1/2 cup sugar, 3 cups of ice and 2 cups of milk and it turned out perfect

More ice is right, I needed 24 instead of 12. Also used unsweetened creamy cashew milk instead of whole milk. That dropped my total calories to 57.5 per serving (or 230 calories for the whole recipe). Don't feel like I'm missing out on any sweetness at all. I was also craving chocolate so I added 1/2 tsp baking cocoa, nom.

Great recipe when you are craving a milkshake and don't have ice cream! I only used 1/2 cup sugar and threw in some strawberries and we loved it!

Super easy and quick to make! I did make a few tweaks, I added 1/3 cup of sugar instead of what was recommended and that alone was sweet enough so I can't imagine how sweet it must be at 3/4 cup. I also added a few more ice cubes and Hershey's chocolate syrup for a chocolate shake. Yum! Will make again.

It was AMAZING. I wasn’t expecting it to taste good since there was no ice cream, but it turned out great. Though if you want a more thicker milkshake I would double the amount of ice cubes for each recipe.

I loved this recipe! It was just simple ingredients and instructions, and it came out like a perfect vanilla shake! The only thing was thing was that it needed more ice cubes because it was too liquidy, but overall, it was delicious!
