How to Make the Best Chocolate Shake Ever

To make this shake, you only need a few simple ingredients —

• Cocoa Powder
• Ice
• Powdered milk
• Sugar
• Vanilla

That's it! All of that goes in a blender. Pulse it up and you will have the most fantastic shake you have ever tasted.

Who says you need ice cream to make a great chocolate shake.

Can I Change the Flavors Around?

The answer is YES! In place of the cocoa powder, you can use fresh strawberries pureed. And, if you really want to bump up the flavor, turn it into a Cookies and Cream milkshake using delicious Oreo Cookies.

The possibilities are endless with this recipe.

For a neat take on a milkshake, be sure and try my Fruity Pebbles Freak Shake.
