Classic cocktail
First, let’s tell you how to make a classic vanilla cocktail. To prepare one serving, you will need:
- 200 ml of milk;
- 2 teaspoons of ice cream;
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla sugar.
As you can see, the ingredients you need are the simplest ones sold in any store. However, everything can be further simplified if milk and vanilla ice cream are used to make the cocktail. In this case, not even vanilla sugar is needed. So, we begin to prepare:
- Pour chilled milk into a blender.

That's all. Now you know how to make a vanilla smoothie. Agree that the recipe is surprisingly simple, and it takes very little time to prepare. So, you have the opportunity even more often to please your loved ones with simple but pleasant surprises.
Protein Enriched
Or maybe you are on a high-protein diet, for example, gaining mass? And in this case, a cocktail can come to the rescue. True, you have to slightly change the list of ingredients. Take:
- 200 ml of homemade yogurt;
- 2 teaspoons of ice cream;
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla sugar.
So, vanilla-protein shake also does not require any expensive or scarce ingredients. It is also prepared very easily and simply:
- Pour chilled yogurt into a blender.
- Add vanilla sugar with ice cream to the blender.
- With a lid, beat all the ingredients to make them homogeneous.
Such a cocktail not only perfectly quenches thirst in the summer heat (the main thing is not to drink it in one gulp in order not to earn a sore throat), but it also supplies the body with a large amount of protein, which is very important for heavy physical exertion and weight gain. In addition, it contains a glass of drink more than 300 kilocalories, so it can be an excellent substitute for a sandwich with sausage, eaten in a hurry, dry.
Banana chocolate
But children do not think too much about the calorie content and composition of the drink. It is more important for them that the cocktail taste is good. Well, if it is also chocolate, then not a single child will resist. So why not please the household, along with their friends who went after school? To prepare two servings, you only need:
- 300 ml of milk;
- 1 ripe banana;
- ½ teaspoon vanilla sugar;
- 100 grams of ice cream;
- 2 teaspoons of cocoa.
In most kitchens there is everything you need, so you can safely start cooking - the benefit will take only a few minutes, and the effect will be really impressive:
- Peel a banana, cut into thick slices and grind in a blender into a homogeneous mass.
- Add milk, sugar, ice cream and cocoa to the banana.
- Close the lid and beat to get a homogeneous liquid with copious foam on top.
Pour the finished cocktail as soon as possible into glasses and do not forget to stick a straw into each of them. A simple but delicious drink is ready!
Add some strawberries
But lovers of refined and sophisticated taste will surely enjoy a vanilla cocktail with strawberries. Nobody will definitely be able to resist this drink. True, you have to find a good, ripe strawberry, but the result is clearly worth all the effort and time. To make two glasses of the drink, take:
- 200 ml of milk;
- 100 ml cream;
- 100 grams of ice cream;
- ½ teaspoon vanilla sugar;
- 200 grams of strawberries.
Because of the cream, the calorie content of the drink will increase, but excess calories are clearly offset by a great taste:
- Rinse the strawberries well, remove the ponytails. If crushed berries come across, remove them; they can have an unpleasant taste.
- Fold the strawberries in a blender. Add ice cream and vanilla sugar here. Mix everything into a homogeneous mass.
- Add cream and milk to the blender. Beat well and pour into glasses immediately until the foam is gone.
Of course, the taste of the finished cocktail will pleasantly surprise even the most picky gourmet - it is surprisingly delicate and refined.
