A Good Blender Recommendation

Currently, I use a Vitamix and I love it. This blender is an investment as it’s not the cheapest, but it is one investment that does not disappoint. It will probably be the last blender you ever own.

If a Vitamix isn’t in your budget currently, then I recommend a Waring professional blender. This blender works well too. It doesn’t work quite as well as the Vitamix, but they are the next best thing for a much more reasonable cost.

This holiday treat blends perfectly in one of these blenders.

How to Serve Milkshake

Mason jars – We always have a ton of these around and the milkshakes look pretty in them.
Tall ice cream glasses -I love these old fashioned glasses. They remind me of what you would find at an ice cream shop.
