For this recipe, I used chocolate syrup. Feel free to replace it with any sauce or syrup. We are not trying to be boring here, so explore ?.
Milk
You can use any of your favorite kinds of milk but make sure you use higher fat milk. This will make your shake creamier and richer.

It’s time to get creative: Firstly, get started by adding whipped cream or crushed nuts.
