- Be sure not to over-blend the shake. Blending too much can make it too thin and watery.
- If you want more flavor, add another scoop of ice cream or sherbet.
- For an extra creamy shake, add a splash of whole milk instead of soda.
- I like to use a high-powered blender like a Ninja or Vitamix for making shakes and smoothies. But, you can use whatever blender that you have on hand.
