Milk Shake Maker

[felly]

I had a lovely strawberry milk shake in Sainsbury's cafe today. I watched it being made. Lots of ice cubes were put in the jug, fresh strawberries added, milk added and then it was blended. Does anyone know of a domestic machine which will do this? I have looked on the Internet but can't find one that will crush ice cubes as part of the milk-shake making process.

you just need a blender, surely?

I thought a blender wasn't powerful enough to crush ice cubes?

or as Bednobs said a domestic blender will do the trick.

really?

My Siemens shake blender/liquidiser certainly is.
Power is the key.

I've already looked on Amazon vodkancoke. I though the Philips blender was about the price I would like to pay but one of the reviewers says it can't cope with ice cubes.

How much was it AlBags?

my blender can do this!....no problem, it's a Kenwood Smoothie maker.......

[felly]

welshlibranr - can it take lots of ice cubes? The girl who made mine at Sainsburys must have used at least 12 large ones.

Ah sorry felly. I have a Kenwood blender which attaches to my Kenwood mixer and it copes fine with ice-cubes. I make smoothies and milkshakes with it.

Which model do you have redhelen? So far have only investigated Amazon and they have three models on their site.

Felly try freezing, or frozen fruit to get the chill. My hand blender works no problem for this.

Great idea sunflower - I'll give that a try before I go and buy anything new.
