Milkshake

Ever get a craving, at night, for a milkshake? I thought so!!! Well, my hubby does too... He needs to cut down on sugar, so I made him this yummy, super simple one...

Vanilla Milkshake with a touch of Chocolate

• 3 Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream (Hubby has a lowfat one)
• 1/2 cup Skim Milk
• 1 TBSp Chocolate Syrup (Hubby wanted Bosco)

Throw it all in the blender, mix it up... Pour & slurp!

Such a yummy late night, cool, creamy snack! Enjoy... Straw not necessary but always fun :)

Oh yeah... & I had a yummy Egg Cream.

Egg Cream

An egg cream contains no eggs & no cream :) It's a soda fountain, ice cream store drink that brings back childhood memories of visiting Brooklyn in the summers... Sitting on a stool, at the local Soda Fountain store on Flatlands Avenue sipping a frothy egg cream. The delectable drink is originally from Brooklyn & classically made with Fox's U-Bet Chocolate syrup BUT I am asking to be pardoned... I used Bosco's tonight. It's all we have & when my friend Megan E. mentioned drinking one, I had.to.have.an.Egg.Cream tonight. YUM. 


Lishie's Egg Cream 

• 3 TBSp Chocolate Syrup
• 1/2 cup ice cold Milk
• 1 cup plain Seltzer water

Squirt the syrup into the cup (I always eye the amount!) Add the milk & stir to completely mix, as if making chocolate milk. Wait till you have done this & only then open the seltzer & while stirring vigorously with one hand, add the seltzer in with the other. This will give you a beautiful, frothy drink!
I hope this gives you the feeling of old-fashioned days, soda jerks, & ice cream counters. ENJOY! 

Frothy goodness!
