            Do you like milkshakes? Do you like sweet desserts? If so this step-by-step tutorial will be perfect for you. In this tutorial, I am going to be telling you guys how to make a tasty, yet easy milkshake. You can complete this task in less than 10 minutes! Keep reading to find the steps and tools you will need to complete this task.

Step 1: Tools

The tools you will need for this process are a blender, a blender lid, and a cup. You will need the blender to blend up the ingredients. You will need a lid so that all your ingredients won’t go flying all over the place in your kitchen or wherever you make this. The cup is needed so that you can drink your completed milkshake.  

 

Step 2: Ingredients

The ingredients you will need to make the milkshake are ice cream (vanilla is recommended), milk, one banana, ice, vanilla extract, one egg, and cinnamon. You will need the ice cream so that you get one of the primary flavors and so that you get the creamy texture. Milk is needed so that when you blend all of the ingredients, the blending won’t be so rough. The milk also helps prevent you from making completely thick malts. Bananas are a preferred ingredient because this creates the basis of the flavors. Banana is recommended but you can also use strawberries or any fruit you like. You will need ice so that the milkshake isn’t so watery. If you don’t use ice then the milkshake will be completely watery. Having a completely watery milkshake is not a tasty thing to drink. Trust me… I’ve learned the hard way. So, don’t do what I did and add ice, you’ll be glad you did. The vanilla extract is actually up to you. Vanilla extract is a liquid substance that has the flavor of vanilla, hence the name. It just adds a little more vanilla flavor. So if you like this flavor, it is recommended for you. I use an egg because ever since I was a kid, my dad used an egg. I never understood why until I asked. He said it adds protein and it makes the milkshake a tiny bit healthy. So, I listened and ever since then I have also added that one egg. Yes, it is a weird ingredient for a milkshake but, you can’t taste it at all once you drink the shake. Cinnamon is also another flavor factor to add. If you are allergic or don’t like to this ingredient, it isn’t that important. You don’t really need this. The milkshake might be a little bit more bland than usual but that’s okay. These are the ingredients that you need to have in order to complete this tasty and easy homemade treat.

      

Step 3: Making the Shake

To make the shake you will need to throw all the ingredients in the blender. Not literally, but like this. First put in the ice. All you need is a little more than a handful. Next put the ice cream. You need 2-3 scoops of ice cream. The next thing you need to add is the milk. Only pour the milk half to half way up of the blender. Next, you add the banana. You will need to cut the banana in half then put the pieces in the blender. Then this is where you add that crazy ingredient, the egg. All you need to do is crack it over the blender and let it fall in with the other ingredients. For the vanilla extract, you just need to add one or two drops into the blender. Lastly is adding the cinnamon. If you don’t like cinnamon, just add a small pinch or none at all. But if you do like it, add two pinches or more. You will need to press the ice blending button on your blender on a level of high power. Then you may use the normal blend button on a medium speed.

The last and easiest step to this process is to enjoy your outcome! If you followed these steps, you should have a tasty milkshake in your hand.
