Vanilla Chai Milkshake
Stay cool and refreshed during these hot summer days with the classically fun flavor of vanilla in this yummy Vanilla Chai Milkshake.

Well can you guess what the favorite flavors of the class were? There were two ...
Give up?
They were:
1. Vanilla {which just so happens to be my favorite}, and
2. Cookies & Cream ... And, hey, you know what Cookies & Cream is??? Vanilla with a bunch of cookies crushed in it.
It seems there's a little vanilla love in everyone. I think sometimes we think of vanilla as a tad boring ... but if it was boring, would everyone love it so much? I think not!
So the next time someone calls you vanilla, you go right ahead and take that as a big ol' compliment ... 'cause by my estimation, it means you're their favorite. I've got 2nd-grader data to prove it.
Now to keep my end-of-school vanilla ice cream theme running into summer, I whipped up this smooth and creamy Vanilla Chai Milkshake ... made extra rich and delicious with Coffee-mate French Vanilla liquid creamer.
See, vanilla provides a fabulous sensory experience, and its subtle flavor and aroma are the perfect complement to the boldness of coffee ... or the boldness of chai tea!
With its aromatic flavor driven by sweet marshmallow and vanillin notes, I chose Coffee-mate's French Vanilla creamer for my milkshake. But you could just as easily choose Coffee-mate's Classic Vanilla instead, with its comforting vanilla-beany, woody notes ... a classic vanilla flavor born in the classic American kitchen.
Mmmmm, this Vanilla Chai Milkshake is so yummy, so refreshing, ... and so not boring ... during these hot summer days. Yup, if you think vanilla is boring, think again ... with it's wonderfully delicious variety of flavor notes, vanilla is anything but boring.
I mean, could twenty-three 2nd graders be wrong? there's certainly nothing boring about them and their vanilla love.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to do my part to #TakeBackVanilla and go enjoy a Vanilla Chai Milkshake. Can't you hear the vanilla calling my name?
