I love a national food holiday just like the next person, seriously who came up with this stuff?! but when I saw national vanilla milkshake day coming up, I thought, bam, lets combine a few of my favourites, Vanilla (i was either a bubble gum or vanilla ice cream kind of gal), Shakes, and well…Kelis. Oh how my marriage to hip hop weaves throughout my life…
Anywho, this is a quick easy, dare I say nutritious milkshake that def can help you wash down a good meal, don’t save it for desert…theres no need to with a few servings of vegetables. Yup, sick of me yet? Cauliflower bomb about to hit again.
Put on that poodle skirt, pump up the jams and shake shake shake it like a polaroid picture….
