I’ve never been one for milkshakes.
I like to eat my calories rather than drink them, especially when it comes to dessert.
Though I used to really love the hot fudge milkshake at Dairy Queen – have you ever tried that? It is unreal.
But regular old milkshakes don’t do much for me.
Then I saw this in the recent issue of Bon Appetit.
The day I find that magazine in my mailbox is the best day of the month. I just pour over it.
And I get hungry.
And eat cookies or pita chips or whatever is in reach, while really wishing I was eating each dish off every page.
That magazine makes me eat my emotions.
Now I’m reconsidering my take on milkshakes.
This was so delicious.
Even better – the peach was perfectly juicy and ripe. I love sweet peaches.
I almost wish I would have added a second one.
And you really only need one cookie for the shake.
But I bought two. Just so I could eat one by it’s lonesome.
Totally worth it.
Snickerdoodle-Peach Milkshake
from Bon Appetit, September 2010
1 cup milk
1/2 cup ice cream
1-2 fresh peaches, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 snickerdoodle cookie + crumbles for garnish
Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. Garnish with cookie crumbs.
I need one of these for breakfast.
It’s Monday, so that’s my excuse. Not that I ever needed one before.

I’m with you on the “drinking my calories” thing. Except for alcohol. That’s usually worth it.
Gorgeous. Are you ever not creative with your recipes? Do you think I could just refer to this as a smoothie and have it for breakfast? Yum. Sounds like the perfect way to take advantage of the peaches now in season.
Also, I’m in the running for a recipe contest and would love, love, love your support if you have a minute. All you have to do is visit the following link and click that you like my video. I would much appreciate it. :0) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCkllXlndi4
I know I’m a freak here, but I would rather have a cookie than a piece of fruit. Although I make myself frozen fruit protein drinks, I never thought of blending fresh fruit up in some type of milk. Fabulous idea! I think I will have this right now!!
I always need a treat at the end of my Mondays…it’s hard getting back into the swing of things sometimes.
I love fresh peaches and they are wonderful in smoothies.
I’m all about the peaches right now.
i’d never think to combine a snickerdoodle and peaches. i need one for breakfast right now. yum

I NEED one now.
Aww yeah, this looks so tasty. I’m a milkshake girl, and this looks soooo yummy!
