One of the best things about having kids is introducing them to things that I loved when I was just a kid myself. I’ve gotten them hooked on my music, my favorite childhood TV shows and now, I’m introducing them to my yummy orange creamsicle milkshake!
We already love ice cream treats and this milkshake is SO good, mostly because it combines two of my favorite things, Orange Crush and creamsicles! My girls agreed, especially little Keira who’s never met a sweet treat she didn’t like! This was actually her first ever milkshake but I’m pretty sure it won’t be her last.
I also love how easy this creamsicle milkshake is to make. You just need four ingredients: Orange Crush, orange sorbet, vanilla ice cream and a little whipped cream to top it off. Once you’ve got those, you’re ready to get started!
Orange Creamsicle Milkshake
Start by pouring your Orange Crush into a blender.
Add two scoops of orange sorbet
Next, add two scoops of vanilla ice cream
Blend, pour into a glass and garnish with your orange slice and cherry
Everyone in my family agreed that this milkshake was pretty awesome. It may just be our new favorite summer treat!

This milkshake looks really yummy! And your photos are so fun! They just make me happy with all their bright colors!

This looks delicious! I can’t wait to make it for my children. Soda is also a special treat at my house, so they’ll be very excited. We still have an ice cream truck that comes through our neighborhood. My husband thinks I’m crazy, but I get just as excited as the kids when I hear that music.
Lisa
I agree…you never outgrow the excitement of hearing the ice cream truck! Even with a freezer full of ice cream, there’s something about getting your treat straight from the truck that makes it taste even better!

These look really good. I bought my kids twinkies for what might have been the first time two weeks ago. My oldest is 7.
Lisa
I totally need to introduce my kids to twinkies, though I love them so much I may have trouble sharing…LOL!

This looks amazing. I’m planning on trying as soon as possible.
Lisa
Thanks Krystel! I’ve never made homemade milkshakes before this but now I think I may have to do it more often. These really were yummy!

How many points is it on weight watchers?
Lisa
Unfortunately I don’t know how weight watchers calculates their points. However, I used regular ice cream and sorbet and Orange Crush, which contains sugar. I’m afraid it might be a little high in points (but fun for a splurge day)
Denise Hinman
Bet Schwans ice cream will be even better. Can’t wait to try it. Especially after doing chores.Thank you.
Lisa
I’ve never tried that kind of ice cream. I wonder if I can find it in Florida.
Norma
Looks good
