Milkshakes give you a lot of fun. You can make them from any fruit or sweets. The only thing you have to do is proportion. Too much milk will make the shake too liquid, while too much fruit will make it too thick and not be able to drink through a straw. If you do not want to add ice cream to your shake, you can add cream – onan will also make the constitution delicate and creamy. But remember to keep it chilled. If you do not have a blender, you can use a mixer, but then remember not to add highly frozen fruit or ice cubes – the mixer will not crush them and will only cause a mess in the kitchen. If you want the dessert to be cold use ice cream or just put it in the fridge before serving.
