3 Healthy Milkshake Recipes Your Kids Will Actually Ask For

The Parent's Dilemma: Your Kids Want Milkshakes, You Want Healthy.

The plea for a milkshake is a familiar sound in any family. They're a fantastic treat, but traditional recipes loaded with ice cream and sugary syrups can lead to a dreaded sugar crash. So how do you make a delicious milkshake that you can also feel good about giving to your kids?

The secret is a simple swap: instead of ice cream, you use milk, and instead of syrup, you use a high-quality, naturally-sweetened milk flavouring powder.

Here are three incredibly simple, 2-minute recipes that create healthy, flavour-packed milkshakes that are perfect for after-school snacks or a fun weekend treat.

1. The Classic Chocolate Dream Shake

For the kid who loves all things chocolate, this recipe delivers a rich, creamy flavour that rivals any cafe version. It's one of our go-to healthy snacks for kids.

  • 150ml Cold Milk (dairy or non-dairy works well!)
  • 5g (approx. 1 heaped tsp) Rolley Chocolate Flavouring
  • Optional: 1/2 a frozen banana for extra creaminess and nutrition.

Instructions: Add all ingredients to a blender and blend well until smooth and frothy. That's it!

2. The Summer Strawberry Splash

Bright, fruity, and refreshing. This shake tastes like summer in a glass and uses real strawberry flavour, not artificial colours or additives.

Instructions: Add all ingredients to a blender and blend well until perfectly smooth and pink!

3. The Go-Go Banana Shake

A fantastic option for a quick breakfast or pre-sport energy boost. This banana milkshake recipe is naturally sweet and satisfying.

Instructions: Add all ingredients to a blender and blend well until smooth. For a thicker shake, add a few ice cubes before blending.

Why Are These Milkshakes Healthier?

The magic is in the ingredients. By using Rolley as the base for your milkshake recipe, you get:

  • āœ… Zero Added Sugar: All the sweetness comes from natural fruit powders and a touch of stevia.
  • āœ… Real Fruit Flavour: No fake, "nature-identical" flavours here.
  • āœ… Speed and Convenience: You get all the flavour without any mess or fuss in just a few seconds.
