Welcome to another Thirsty Thursday! Do I have a drink today that’s sure to satisfy everyone… a Peanut Butter and Nutella Shake!
When Nutella first hit the scene I have to admit that I was a slow learner, I tried it but did not see what all the hubbub was about. Luckily for me my sons didn’t give up so easily and after many attempts they made a convert out of me.
Since my conversion I have come to enjoy it many ways but this milkshake has got to be tops! I love chocolate shakes and what goes together better with chocolate than peanut butter? So I set upon making a shake that contained both yet still had a little zing that would make the drinker take a second look.
Adding just a little buttermilk to the Peanut Butter and Nutella Shake gives it a little bite and takes away just enough of the sweetness to give a unique flavor that you will love.
So make sure to stock up on the peanut butter and Nutella hazelnut spread for the summer because if my sons reaction tells us anything you better stock up before we buy all the supply.
