Vanilla Shake Recipe help please?

searchingfa — Sat, 26 Aug 2023 20:37:07 GMT

Can anybody share a diet home recipe for creating a McDonald's Vanilla Milkshake?

I am not a cook, so I do not know how to make a diet version of McDonald's taste but I thought Andrew Lessman Secure Vanilla might be a good starting point.

My cravings would really be appreciative of your help,

I don't know how diet it is or if it's close to McDonalds but I've made vanilla milkshake with plain vanilla ice cream, skim milk, a little heavy whipping cream and a splash of vanilla extract. Put it in the blender to mix. It's pretty good.

😹 🍦 🍟 🍔 There's simply no such thing as "diet" anything from Mickey D's. Just remove the wrapper, insert the straw, and enjoy the full MilkShake experience.

I would try some non fat vanilla greek yogurt and a few drops of real vanilla in a blender, maybe a few chunks of ice? If its still too thick a splash of non fat milk?

Although my recommendation is far from "diet", but Paula Deen has the best recipe for a vanilla milkshake....it's on-line.

@searchingfa - Since a vanilla milkshake is such a simple thing to make, I'd imagine you could simply swap in lower-fat ice cream and lower-fat milk to get a good result. Based on how much you need/want to cut back, I'd recommend trying one of the "churned" vanilla ice creams rather than the ice milks or specifically "diet" ice creams; that way, you'll still get a creamy consistency since they just have more air whipped in but often don't have crazy chemicals or ingredients that make the substitutes truly not ice cream.

Frozen banana (I like the not-dead-ripe ones because they don't taste as much banana), low-fat milk, blender! Ice if needed to make it even colder. Add a drop of honey if you like, protein powder, and vanilla is a must.

It's not a shake, but it is all good and good for you! We freeze it in a little ice cream maker too.

If you want to make a milkshake from Andrew Lessman's products. Put ice cubes in a blender and add the product with a liquid and blend. The ice will freeze the product into a milk shake mixture.

McD milkshakes are not low calorie.

When I grew up we put ice cream in a blender with a little milk and blended until smooth, sometimes adding other flavorings.

@Carmie We always added malt powder

I like vanilla frozen yogurt with frozen banana, blueberries & unsweetened almond milk. I don't have to use as much frozen yogurt with the addition of the banana plus blueberries.

I also like it with peaches or strawberries.

Healthy and diet worthy....for a meal

I created this mylk shake meal for us when we are away from home for long periods of time so we don't have to eat junk food. I blend and put in an insulated bag to keep the drinks cold. It is filling, healthy, and a very tasty shake. Also great to take to work for lunch. Also fulfilling if you want to lose weight...have it for a meal, you will be satisfied☺️

2 scoops vanilla protein (I use plant based Orgain...you can get it at Costco or amazon)

1 cp soy milk

1 cup almomd milk

1/2 banana

1/2 cp frozen blue berries

handful of fresh organic spinach (you won't taste it)

several ice cubes

I like oat milk best in the banana type shakes/ice creams. I also like oatmilk (the brand Sams and Walmart sell in the blue plastic jugs--unsweetened) best in iced coffee.

@Sooner You are right...oat milk is good. I like it because it has a creamy taste.

Just a FYI if interested: I do use the combo of soy and almond in our smooties because the cp of soy has 7 grams of protein and the cup of almond milk has less calories.

I do my best to keep us healthy and fit and don't bother with telling the details to my husband. He just reaps the rewards 😉

So enjoy your Oat milk....it is a great alternative to the animal product, has 2 gr of fiber, and it tastes great! I respect those for choosing the alternatives it is a healthier, happier choice and yummy!

@phoenixbrd Thanks for your mention, but I am not using oatmilk for reasons other than I like the taste in some things sometimes. I am a big fan of milk and not so much of alternatives unless I like the taste better.

I avoid soy because of some issues associated with it, and don't really like almond milk. But the oat really does have a great place in several things I use! I am happy to have it.

@phoenixbrd had me nodding in agreement until I saw spinach. I think I'd notice it in my milkshake.

Re: Vanilla Shake Recipe help please?

phoenixbrd — Sat, 02 Sep 2023 03:55:37 GMT

@AuntG Try it....you will be surprised...add just a tiny amount, it will give you the courage to add more. You won't taste it! But if you choose to not walk on the wild side eliminate the spinach and try the drink if you want a healthy treat meal that tastes great and is great for you!😉

@Sooner No problem...and yes, oat milk is delicious. I don't want to offend anyone.... that's why I usually preference my recipes with FYI if interested. Enjoy your oat shake! 🥛cheers!

I don't know about Mac D's milk shake, but I use these few ingredients for a low calorie vanilla shake:

Non fat milk.

A whole ripe pear, peeled and cored. Cut into chunks.

teaspoon vanilla

Few packets of sweetener to taste

A few ice cubes.

Put all in a blender.

The pear gives it a vanilla flavor.

I can also use frozen strawberries instead of pear and ice cubes for a different shake.
