Pro Tips for the Best Oreo Shake

Nutrition Notes
This Oreo shake provides carbohydrates, fat and protein from the milk, vanilla ice cream and Oreo cookies. The exact nutritional value will vary depending on the type of milk, ice cream brand, number of Oreo cookies and toppings used.
Milk contributes protein and calcium, while Oreo cookies and ice cream provide carbohydrates and added sugar. Whipped cream, chocolate syrup and extra cookie crumbs will increase the calories and sugar of the finished shake.
For the most accurate nutrition information, calculate the recipe using the exact brands and quantities used. If the recipe makes two servings, divide the total nutritional values between the two glasses rather than listing the nutrition for the entire batch as one serving.
How to Store an Oreo Shake
Oreo shakes are best served immediately after blending because the ice cream can melt and the texture can become thinner over time. If you need to keep leftovers, cover the shake and refrigerate it for a short period, then stir or blend briefly before serving.
For the best flavour and texture, make only the amount you plan to serve.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Here are some mistakes to avoid when making the Oreo Shake:
* Using warm milk: Use chilled milk for a cold and refreshing shake. Warm milk can make the drink less suitable for immediate serving.
* Blend until smooth: Blend for about 30–45 seconds, or until the cookies are well incorporated. Avoid unnecessarily long blending because it can make the shake thinner.
