What You Need For The Chick-Fil-A Peppermint Milkshake
Scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page for detailed ingredient measurements.
Vanilla Ice Cream: Just like Chick-fil-A, the base of our peppermint chip milkshake recipe is vanilla ice cream, the old-fashioned way. More even more peppermint flavor, substitute with peppermint ice cream instead.
Milk: You will need a little bit of milk to help liquefy the ice cream and help the blending process. Whole milk works best but you could use any milk you'd like.
Peppermint Candy: Crushed peppermint candies turn this regular vanilla shake into a peppermint chip shake. You can use individually wrapped circles or crushed candy canes.
Blender: You'll need a low-speed blender to incorporate the festive peppermint chips and to aerate the ice cream.

Protein Shake: Turn this sweet treat into a protein shake by adding a scoop of protein powder.
