- For a thicker milkshake, add 1 cup of ice to the ingredients in the blender. If doing so, serve the milkshake immediately.
- To make this recipe a bit healthier, use frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.
- For dairy free vanilla milkshake, use dairy free ice cream and milk such as almond, cashew or oat milk.
