Snickerdoodle Milkshake: the cookie-inspired treat that's both healthy and refreshing

For those hot summer days when you're craving freshly-baked cookies but dealing with a heated oven is too much to handle, a cooling, cookie-themed milkshake is a prime stand-in! And you've got to love the minimal time that goes into making blended treats (hello there, instant-gratification). So, how does a snickerdoodle shake sound?

If you think that sounds great, how does a healthy snickerdoodle shake sound?! This creamy beverage is loaded with potassium, magnesium, and natural sweetness. Plus, depending on the type of milk used, you can get in a healthy dose of protein, as well!

To make this Snickerdoodle Milkshake by Chocolate Covered Katie, you'll need: (serves 1)

- 2/3 cup milk of choice (I used unsweetend soy)
- 1 frozen over-ripe banana (I didn't have any over-ripe bananas at the time I made the shake, so I used a normally-ripe frozen banana)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (no exact amount was called for in CCK's recipe, so feel free to add more or omit entirely for a Sugar Cookie Milkshake)

Blend all ingredients together until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy your sippable cookie!

~P.S.~

Come next Friday, I will be on a much anticipated mini-vacation (cheers to finally being done with summer school!), so I will not be posting. Be sure to check back in on August 8th!
