What’s Cooking: A wholesome gingerbread milkshake

(NC) Get festive with a wholesome gingerbread milkshake that is a perfect dessert for the entire family. No ice cream needed here, just a few simple ingredients paired with ultrafiltered whole milk for a rich and creamy treat.

This easy and decadent milkshake was created by food expert and blogger Vijaya Selvaraju and was inspired by her love of gingersnaps. For the perfect texture, use frozen sweet potato and bananas along with Fairlife, which is made from 100 per cent Canadian milk and has 50 per cent less sugar and 50 per cent more protein than regular milk.
