Heather's Helpful Hints

Place your glass in the freezer for 30 minutes before you pour the milkshake into the glass. This helps keep everything nice and cool.
Don't add ice to your milkshake! Ice waters down the milkshake, and you will lose the thick and creamy texture.
Blend only until everything is combined. Too much blending will actually think out the milkshake.
