Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup vanilla frozen yogurt
- 1/4 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: low-fat milk, vanilla frozen yogurt, chocolate sandwich cookies, vanilla extract, and ice cubes (if desired).
- Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy glass.
- Add the low-fat milk to a blender container.
- Measure and add the vanilla frozen yogurt to the blender.
- Pour in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs.
- Add the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile.
- If you prefer a thicker, colder shake, add a few ice cubes to the blender.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. If too thin, add more frozen yogurt or ice cubes.
- Pour the shake into a tall glass immediately after blending.
- Optional: Garnish with additional cookie crumbs on top or a whole cookie on the rim of the glass.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your skinny cookies and cream shake.
Tips
- Choose the Right Cookies: Use reduced-fat chocolate sandwich cookies to keep the calorie count lower while maintaining maximum flavor.
- Freeze Your Glass: Chill your serving glass beforehand to keep the shake colder for longer and create a more professional presentation.
- Blend Technique Matters: Pulse the blender initially to break down the cookie chunks, then blend on high for a smooth, consistent texture.
- Customize Your Thickness: Keep extra milk and frozen yogurt on hand to adjust the shake's consistency to your preference.
- For an Extra Protein Boost: Consider adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder to make the shake more filling and nutritionally balanced.
- Make It Vegan: Substitute low-fat milk with almond or oat milk, and use dairy-free frozen yogurt for a plant-based version.
- Cookie Crumb Hack: Reserve some cookie crumbs to sprinkle on top or around the glass rim for an Instagram-worthy presentation.
