While it hasn’t been exactly hot lately (unless you live in the southern hemisphere), a milkshake is a treat that will lift the spirits of any kid or grown-up immediately. Best of all, it doesn’t have to be unhealthy. This version from Marla Meridith of Family Fresh Cooking has to be one of the heartiest looking shakes I’ve ever seen. I mean look at that cream coming off the top, this is almost a meal in itself. The goat’s milk is a tasty option as would be my favorite, coconut milk. I also think it would be fine without any added sweeteners, but then again, I don’t like things too sweet. Marla’s featured some great additional add-ins like pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg, all of which sound amazing. Another great add-in as well as a great way to sneak some veggies to your kids is a handful of spinach — other than the added green color, they’ll never notice it as it doesn’t add a lot of flavor.
“I hope you guys love milkshakes as much as we do. With the steamy summer days that have been sweeping the USA a little relief from a creamy dreamy shake would be nice huh! Take out your favorite magazines, set up the kiddie pool pull up a lounge chair and let’s have some shakes…
Recently via my friend Barbara from the blog Creative Culinary brought my attention to a fun food event called Goaterie. “A group of people with shared interests in goat.” One eyebrow raised. And then the other. Time to get my goat on. I have always been a big fan of goat cheese, my Berry Goat Cheese Pizzas are proof of that. It was time to experiment with more….much more.
The frozen bananas blended with milk, in this case goats milk tastes like rich half melted ice cream. Amazing. If you are vegan go with coconut milk, almond or rice milk…”
