Ingredients

For this delicious and easy milkshake recipe you need the following ingredients:

• Frozen yogurt: My favorite to use is the vanilla flavor since you can make different flavors of milkshake with it.
• Milk: You can use 1% or fat-free milk for this recipe. Nut milks such as almond or cashew milk work too.
• Fruit such as peach and nectarine

Instructions

There is no ice cream in this healthy milkshake. You can use frozen yogurt instead of ice cream which gives a nice creaminess and texture to the milkshake. You can also use frozen bananas and blend them. They have the same texture as ice cream once blended. I used this method to make my healthy strawberry milkshake.

Also, add some delicious fresh or frozen fruit of your choice to the milkshake for extra natural sweetness and flavor. For this healthy milkshake recipe I added peaches and nectarines. You can even use a combination of fruits such as peach and strawberry or pineapple and mango or mixed berries. Place all the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. Divide between two cold glasses and enjoy.

Place the serving glasses in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes before serving the milkshake. Cold glasses will keep the milkshakes cold for longer.

Can I use Dairy free milk?

You sure can! As for the liquid, you can use any kind of milk such as low fat, soy, cashew, coconut or almond milk. Almond milk is a good choice for milkshakes as it has a nice creamy texture. You can also freeze some almond or coconut milk into ice cubes and add the frozen cubes to the milkshake for an even creamier texture.

Variations

You can add protein powder to you milkshake to make it even healthier. For this particular healthy milkshake recipe with peach and nectarines, add vanilla flavored protein powder.

This milkshake recipe is now a staple at our home because it’s so simple and quick to make. I always keep a couple bags of frozen fruit in our freezer and whip this milkshake up in no time whenever we’re craving milkshakes without ice cream.
