Shakes, Sodas & Smoothies

Do your tastes run to plain vanilla, chocolate or strawberry shakes? Or do you prefer Magnificent Mango, Coconut Hula Scream or Raspberry Cheesecake shakes? Recipes for all the above and dozens more scrumptious delights are included in Shakes, Sodas and Smoothies. Many are the old-fashioned, ice cream and whole milk variety. But there are plenty of refreshing concoctions made from frozen yogurt, soymilk, sorbets and other lower fat ingredients.

Be sure to try the American Cream Soda, the New York Egg Cream, or a Brown Cow--for those of you unfamiliar with this old-fashioned treat, it's chocolate syrup, vanilla ice cream and cola, topped with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Most of these delicious drinks can be made with a blender or food processor, but recipes for home-made ice creams, sherbets and sorbets requiring an ice cream machine are also included. Full color photographs of frosty, frothy drinks with delightful garnishes, make these recipes simply irresistible.
