Hangover cures: peanut butter milkshakes
More kitchen toys. I couldn't resist buying these glasses shaped like milk bottles
No chewing required
It’s all well and good trying to be healthy but all those brilliant intentions fly out the window the day after the night before. I blame Guy Fawkes (and my friends); standing outside in the freezing cold on Bonfire Night yesterday waiting for the fireworks required serious amounts of warming liquidation in the form of too much red wine and whisky.
There’ll be no rainbow-themed cooking for me tonight; the only colours I can think of are those that don’t hurt my eyes.
I had my first peanut butter milkshake at a restaurant about three months ago and I’ve been dying to make one ever since. When I found some new drinking glasses designed to look like the milk bottles of old, I knew me and peanut butter milkshakes were always meant to be, especially today as I needed something to line my stomach without needing to chew…
I can’t however believe how many recipes you can find online for peanut butter milkshakes! O.M.G.
Anyway, I couldn’t face the bright glare of my computer screen for long so I choose the first recipe I found on youtube, and that was from Bettyskitchen. I haven’t however followed her recipe entirely as I put way less sugar than what she used as well as much more milk. I was after a milkshake that required very little effort to drink too.
I don’t know how many calories I’ve just consumed, I don’t actually want to know and, at the moment, I really don’t care.
The sugar’s keeping me together and the milk’s calming the jitters in my stomach. I’ll worry about the calories tomorrow when I can bear to open the curtains again. I just need someone to invent a noiseless blender because one minute’s blitzing just about broke me… I’m off back to bed again. Night night.
Peanut butter milkshakes. Just don't think about the calories.
They're meant to be used as glasses for water. Sod that!
Peanut butter milkshake
¼ cup sugar (I had some soft brown sugar to hand)
¼ cup water
½ cup smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons of icing sugar
2 cups vanilla ice cream
½ – ¾ cup milk
Melt the sugar and water in a saucepan but remove it from the heat as soon as the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the peanut butter to form a sauce/paste and add the icing sugar.
Bung your ice cream into a blender or food processor and pour over the peanut butter sauce and milk. Blitz for as long as your hung-over ears can bear or until it’s as smooth or as chunky as you like.

They are really nice 🙂
Gah! And I was doing so well making only healthy smoothies. I’m going to have to make this for dessert tomorrow night!
Oops, sorry!
Ah, a bonfire hangover, I remember those when I used to hold bonfire parties, there would be 2 large pans of mulled wine on the go, all evening!
Those bottle-glasses are sooooo cute!
Yup, that’s pretty much like that 😦
So, no eggs and tabasco sauce for you this morning?
Get better and thanks for this delicious milkshake 🙂
Ugh, no, i don’t think I’ll be drinking for a while now, at least until the weekend hehehe
Oh my word…those just look out of this world. Gotta have the straws too, for good slurping! My favorite shake ever is one from Shake Shack in NYC…it’s a malted roasted marshmallow caramel shake…drool! I’m going to try making yours at home, I love peanut butter!
That sounds like an amazing shake! I think we need a series of milkshake recipes LOL
PS I have a hard time resisting buying cute kitchen things too LOL.
My husband’s shaking his head at your comment hahaha
Your entries always make me laugh, bring a smile to my face. The little milk jugs and your yummy peanut butter shake would make anyone feel better.
Glad I made you laugh. Always helps 🙂
There are few things a peanut butter milkshake wouldn’t cure!
Indeed. It really, really did help.
My jaw just dropped to the floor. Peanut butter milkshake??? Ohmygosh, I am going to get drunk right now just so I can enjoy this post-hangover cure 🙂 haha
Totally decadent and so bad for you but soooo good too. Hope you don’t get too drunk though, that would be bad. Bad Bad Bad, says the pot to the kettle.
I remember having a peanut butter milkshake in one the health food store, it was so tasty.
Now after seeing the pictures I am craving it. Will have to make it soon.
Love the bottles, very cute.
In a health food shop!?!! These are pretty unhealthy because they’re so sweet but i guess you could make them healthier if you use low salt Pb and don’t add any more sugar syrup 🙂
YUM! Now this is my kinda milkshake! I love the little glasses they’re in too 🙂
These were really nice but I javen’t made them since because they’re so bad for us 🙂
Where are the cups from?
I found them online at a gift shop in the UK. They’re like old style milk bottles.
