Peanut butter Nutella shake

Those who know me know that I have a massive sweet tooth. Usually I love pastries with some kind of sugar on top or inside or around it. But sometimes, I just don't want to chew. That's when a milkshake comes in handy.

My years of working as a server at Johnny Rockets has taught me one thing: vanilla ice cream is the key to a good milkshake. If you want a chocolate shake, start with vanilla ice cream and add some Hersey's syrup. If you want a strawberry shake, add some real strawberries in syrup. There's no excuse for a bad shake.

Tonight Patrick wanted a milkshake, so I had him to get the ingredients at the store (with MY money). We got milk, peanut butter, and vanilla ice cream. I had some Nutella laying around, so I decided to use that as well.

Measurements are as follows:

Splash of milk (not too much or else it'll be too runny)
2-3 big scoops of ice cream
1 heaping tablespoon of peanut butter
1 heaping tablespoon of Nutella

If you have a milkshake machine, use it. If not, you can use a blender instead. Pour in the milk, add peanut butter and Nutella (if you don't have Nutella, just double the peanut butter). Then put in the ice cream. Blend on a lowish setting until everything is smooth. Make sure you poke the mix with a spoon to make sure all the chunks of ice cream is blended. Pour into a glass and enjoy.
