Gbenga Oguntayo 08:36 - 06 August 2018

Since the heat this period won’t let us be great, we might as well make the best out of it by making milky cups of scrumptiousness!

For those who need an introduction, milkshakes are sweet cold drinks made with milk, ice-cream and/or flavor add-ons.

Good news is that we don’t have to wait till we go to fast food places to enjoy them anymore or buy heavy duty machines to whip them up (A good blender works just fine).

Here are a few easy recipes (each one= 2 cups), all you have to do is blend and serve!
