    With the weather warming up, you may find yourself craving a cool treat. Today I have just the recipe to help you with that and it is a Homemade Peanut Butter Milkshake. This baby is a must-try, trust me! It is simple to make with just a few ingredients, creamy, and delicious. 

    Now with milkshakes, I find that people tend to fall into one of two categories. Either they love a milkshake that is thick thick or one that is thin. I definitely prefer my milkshake THICK. In order to achieve this, basically, all you need to do is add less liquid and more ice or frozen items. For a thin and creamy milkshake, simply add more liquid and less ice or frozen items. This is just a basic tip for making milkshakes. Today our milkshake will be slightly thick and creamy, basically something everyone will enjoy.

    WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE A PEANUT BUTTER MILKSHAKE?

    ingredients needed to make milkshake on marble surface.

    1. Milk - For a classic milkshake, go for whole milk. After all, this is a treat and will help your milkshake be smooth and creamy. If you are sensitive to dairy, then try substituting this ingredient with soy, cashew, or oat milk. My favorite dairy-free substitute is extra creamy oat milk because it is very similar to regular whole milk. 
    2. Vanilla ice cream - Opt for your favorite brand, but make sure it is plain ole vanilla ice cream for this recipe. For a dairy-free substitute, try using Oatly Vanilla Non-Dairy Dessert.
    3. Creamy peanut butter - Use your favorite in this area, just be sure that you grab the creamy peanut butter for this recipe. 

    HOW TO MAKE A MILKSHAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER:

    Begin the recipe by grabbing a blender and measuring out the three ingredients. When measuring out the ice cream and peanut butter, be sure to pack it in.
