Milkshake Recipe

Introduction

This kiwi milkshake brings out the best in peak-season produce. It’s fast, foolproof, and tastes far better than anything from a shop. Ready in about 7 minutes.

I started making this after realizing a traditional version is basically already a milkshake waiting to happen. Blending it together instead of the classic method makes it easier to drink and just as indulgent, especially for warm afternoons.
