Variations
This milkshake is best when you stick to the basic recipe. However, if you are in the mood to try some cool and fun variations, consider these options:

Add cream cheese and graham crackers to the blender along with the other milkshake ingredients.

Serving Suggestions
Just like any other milkshake or smoothie, blueberry milkshakes taste best when enjoyed fresh out of the blender. Serve them alone or with a snack of your choice. You can also serve them at a brunch party with other snacks and smoothies.
Tips & Tricks to Make the Best Blueberry Milkshake
-
Blueberries: For an extra thick and cold milkshake, use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones.
-
Sweetener: Adding sweetener is completely optional. If you prefer a less sweet taste, feel free to omit the sugar. For a healthier alternative, you can use honey or maple syrup.
-
Milk Variety: I used regular dairy milk, but any milk variety works well, including almond, coconut, and oat milk for non-dairy options.
-
Blending: For a creamy texture, blend until very smooth.
-
Serving: For the best taste, texture, and flavor, serve immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight pitcher in the fridge, and give it a quick shake or blend before serving.
-
Flavors: I added a splash of vanilla for flavoring. You can also use other flavors such as coconut extract or almond extract, or spice it up with sweet-smelling spices like cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg.
-
Protein Boost: For added protein, add a scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
