the delicious milkshake
So what is a shake? On Wikipedia: A milkshake (occasionally spelled or smoothie) is a thick, cold drink made from pureed raw fruit (and sometimes vegetables) mixed with ice cream or frozen yogurt along with other ingredients such as water, crushed ice, fruit juice , sweeteners (eg, honey, sugar, Styria, syrup) dairy products (eg, milk, yogurt or cottage cheese, whey powder) non-dairy milk, nuts, nut butter, seeds, tea , chocolate, herbal supplements or nutritional supplements.
A shake that contains dairy is similar to a vegetable shake, although the latter typically has less fruit and often has ice cream or frozen yogurt.
As you can tell by the definition, you sure can do a lot with the ingredients you choose to put in your smoothie. But not all ingredients mix well. Sour fruits like grapefruit and other citrus pineapples, pomegranates, sour apples, plums, strawberries, and tomatoes do not pair well with sweet fruits like grapes, prunes, and dates. The ingredients can be as much as the purpose of the smoothie you have chosen to make. For a protein energy boost, weight loss, health, breakfast drink or just to cool off.
