National Chocolate Milkshake Day

September 12, 2012 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

Did you know that September 12th is National Chocolate Milkshake Day?

It’s true -it’s the day of the year officially dedicated to indulging your sweet tooth. 

Although the concept of milkshakes have been around since 1885 (back then, the recipe called for a shot of whiskey!), the modern incarnation was invented by a Walgreen’s employee in Chicago in 1922.

According to CNN, this brilliant inventor “added two scoops of ice cream to a drink called a malted milk.”

And, thus, history was made.

Want to celebrate? We’ve got four great shake recipes that are sure to tickle your taste buds!

Classic Chocolate Shake
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 cup of milk (any kind)
A healthy drizzle of chocolate syrup

Nutella Mocha Shake
1 frozen banana (or two scoops of vanilla ice cream)
2 Tbs Nutella
½ cup cold coffee
½ cup vanilla almond (or coconut) milk

Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake
2 scoops of chocolate ice cream
1 Tbs peanut butter (or PB2)
1 cup vanilla (or chocolate) almond milk

Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Shake
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup vanilla almond milk
1 scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream
A healthy drizzle of chocolate syrup
