Milkshakes: your secret ingredients!

What’s yummier than a giant milkshake? We asked our social media communities to share their secret ingredients to the perfect milkshake. We received so many answers, we decided to share some of them with you.

And if you don’t feel like making your own? We’ve got ready-made milkshakes that you can try out.

  1. Quality dairy

    Many mentioned that for a great milkshake, you have to start with great ice-cream and Ayrshire milk. There were also those who suggested soy or almond milk as alternatives.

  2. Chocolate... and more chocolate

    From hot chocolate to chocolate sauce, from minty Areo to whizzed up Chuckles… it seems you can’t get enough chocolate in your milkshakes!

  3. Fruit is always a winner

    Bananas, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apricots, orange juice –we all enjoy a fruity boost to our milkshakes.

  4. Can't go wrong with vanilla

    Catherine suggested real vanilla seeds make all the difference, while others suggested a drop of vanilla essence to zing up any milkshake.

  5. We got cookies!

    Farhaan suggested whizzing Oreo cookies into your milkshake mix. Why not also experiment with some of the delicious Woolies cookie varieties?

  6. Family favourites

    Peanut butter came out as the surprise family favourite… while Milo, Horlicks and coffee all came close. Rose, elaichie and cardamom syrup are popular too.

  7. Strangest secret ingredients?

    Giselle suggests a pinch of salt to intensify any flavour, while RecruitMy Mom suggested hiding an egg from fussy kids. Verona swears by fennel while Jennifer loves avocado… both of which we think are pretty brave choices!
