Lisa’s Note: My family and I love these shakes, especially on the weekends for a quick, healthy, and delicious breakfast or for an afternoon pick-me-up! The ingredients are wholesome and healthy, and best of all, the shakes taste great! I use low-fat milk when I make the shakes for my sons. I recommend you use low-fat milk for older children and nonfat milk for adults. However, always check with your doctor about your specific dietary needs.
