Easy Creamy Milkshakes, a variety of Strawberry, Banana or Salted Caramel. Perfect for parties and picnics and a hit with the family too! Gosh! I think everyone loves milkshakes! These Easy Creamy Milkshakes are amazing!

Here I made three different flavors, Strawberry, Banana and Salted Caramel. The photos you see here are when I made them and took them along to a picnic where I met up with an old school friend of mine. She brought the cake and I brought the milkshakes, (and my puppy, Poppy!).

I transported the easy creamy milkshakes in a few thermos flasks and when I arrived, I simply gave them a shake and poured them into little half-pint bottles. You can of course use a cool box if you are doing this for a picnic, or just keep refrigerated until serving.

What are the flavors of milkshake?

The strawberries and bananas I've used in the recipe are using fresh fruit, and taste just wonderful! The salted caramel milkshake is a little sweeter, as you can imagine, the caramel will sweeten the drink quite a bit, so if you haven't got a particularly sweet tooth, I would suggest the strawberry or banana milkshake.

These easy cream milkshakes only take moments to make, and you can use the basic milkshake recipe and get creative, swapping the fruit for say blueberries, blackberries, cocoa powder and melted chocolate. Really, the sky's the limit with what you'd like to create so don't be afraid to have a play around with what you have in your store cupboard and have fun!

The recipe below is for a basic Creamy Milkshake, (vanilla flavored), then you just add the other ingredients to whichever flavor you'd like. I've made the recipe for 1 person so you can easily multiply the quantities to suit how many you are serving for.
