# Chef's Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in literally five minutes, which means you can decide you want a shake and be drinking one almost instantly
- The texture is that perfect middle ground between drinkable and spoonable, just like the ones that made you fall in love with milkshakes as a kid
- You probably already have everything in your kitchen right now
02 -
- Stop the blender halfway through to scrape down the sides or you will end up with stubborn pockets of unmixed peanut butter
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for at least 10 minutes beforehand because every degree counts when it comes to keeping shakes thick
03 -
- If your shake is too thick to pour, let it sit for two minutes and it will relax enough to move without losing that gorgeous texture
- Premium ice cream has less air whipped into it, which means you get better flavor and body in every single sip
