Ingredients List

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this dreamy Bubblegum Breeze Drink:

• 1 cup vanilla ice cream (or dairy-free alternative like coconut milk ice cream)
• ½ cup milk (whole, almond, oat, or coconut milk work great)
• 2 tbsp bubblegum syrup (or make your own with ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup water, and ½ tsp bubblegum flavoring)
• 1 cup ice cubes (crushed for a smoother texture)
• Whipped cream (for topping)
• Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, for extra fun!)
• 1-2 drops of pink or blue food coloring (for that signature bubblegum look)

Substitutions & Variations

• Sugar-free option? Use sugar-free bubblegum syrup and low-calorie ice cream.
• Vegan? Swap dairy ice cream and milk for plant-based alternatives.
• Extra creamy? Add a splash of half-and-half or heavy cream.

Timing

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Blending Time: 1 minute
• Total Time: 6 minutes

That’s 60% faster than most blended dessert drinks—meaning you can satisfy your sweet tooth in no time!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before blending, ensure everything is measured and ready. This prevents last-minute scrambling and keeps the process smooth.

Step 2: Blend the Base

In a blender, combine:

• Vanilla ice cream
• Milk
• Bubblegum syrup
• Ice cubes
• Food coloring (if using)

Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until silky smooth.

Pro Tip: For a thicker shake, add more ice cream. For a lighter version, increase the milk.

Step 3: Taste & Adjust

Give it a quick taste. Need more sweetness? Add an extra drizzle of syrup. Too thick? A splash of milk will fix it.

Step 4: Serve with Flair

Pour into a tall glass, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with colorful toppings. A fun straw or umbrella makes it Instagram-worthy!
