My Recipe:

I followed this recipe almost exactly, but I decided to double the recipe.  If I had not, it would have made about 2 and 1/2 cups.  I also chose to use frozen strawberries and still added a bit of ice, to make it a thick milkshake.

I am really happy with this recipe and will definitely make it again.  I will probably try other milkshakes, but I like this one because of the fruit I added to it.  I am sure it is more healthy than the chocolate shake.  It's definitely a great mix of a yummy fruit smoothie and a milkshake.  Enjoy!
