Story behind the recipe:
Can't stress just how important it is that you use cashew milk (or oat). It's essential for 2 reasons... One, if you use any other milk it's gonna be WAY TOO SWEET. Two, it makes the perfect consistency and taste. If you use almond milk or rice milk or soy milk the consistency will be more like an icy, and as mentioned, insanely too sweet.
There are so many possibilities with this milkshake, but it's great to start with the classics. If you're not as into sweet, you'll probably want to lower the amount of frosting by a little. Vanilla milkshakes are usually pretty sweet so it's important to start with the maximum perfection and then you get to decide how far you want to take your treat. If you like sweetness though, treat yourself!
