OK, I actually didn’t have this for breakfast. Or maybe I had a little bit. Who really knows with me these days? I like to shake things up a bit, and what better way than consuming a ridiculous beverage in the morning? I started off inspired by Jessica’s Healthy Frozen Hot Chocolate, but when I didn’t have any of the ingredients (tends to happen when you don’t go to the store for 2 weeks) I gave up and did it the old-fashioned way.
This really isn’t a recipe; it’s a method. And it’s a desperate attempt at making my throat feel better since lately I’ve been coughing up a storm because of all the stuff going around. Besides, when it comes down to is there really anything wrong with having a milkshake for breakfast every now and then? I think not!
Basically it’s a cup of nonfat milk (healthy!!!), 1 cup of vanilla ice cream, and 3-4 Tbsp of hot fudge sauce. Blend til smooth and you’re done.
And hey, I think we all know it’s not healthy to just drink a liquid for breakfast, so I threw a brownie on top so as to have something solid in me. Balance, people. Balance.

There ‘s nothing wrong with having a milkshake & brownie for breakfast. Sounds perfect to me
NOTHING wrong with this.
I’d have to agree-there is no shame in having a milkshake for bfast!
Hmmm… I haven’t had breakfast yet;-)
Ha…sometimes, you just need to start the day off with something like this, right?
My love and respect for you just tripled. This is the way to live!
The only thing better than a milkshake for breakfast is one with a brownie dunked in it.
Nothing wrong with ice cream for breakfast! I have done it
I’d take that any time of day! Milkshakes have always eluded me — I’m not good at getting the flavor right. This looks foolproof, though — thanks!!
I like chocolate milk shakes for breakfast!!!!!!!!! mmmmmmmmmmm McDonalds Chocolate milk shakes were SO good…. booo for being dairy free (clearly it’s healthier for me though)
If it wasn’t so cold where I am this morning, I might have followed your lead! I love the brownie added on top! Super cute! : )
Haha, balance it is. Plenty of calcium in that breakfast!
HA! Love it.
This is just hard to read at 10am. I want a brownie now.
now that’s what im talking about sister.
This reminds me of hot fudge milkshakes I used to get at Dairy Queen. I want one!
Mmmm, this looks perfect for breakfast! Right up my alley. I bet it was delicious and totally sinful first thing in the morning… But hey, we’re all sinners at heart! You have a beautiful blog, and I’m so glad to have found it. Keep up the delicious cooking and baking!

Haha love this. As long as you have nonfat milk in there, it’s definitely considered healthy
Drink up! And feel better soon

Heather you are amazing! Balance baby!
Nothing wrong with a milkshake for breakfast!! People eat Nutella all the time, and it’s kind of related
Love it!
I’m sickly over here too.
Can you send one over here stat?
Heather, I so hope you are feeling better when you read this comment.
The shake looks great. Did you do the special arrangement of colors of varying shades of brown in the glass. It looks like the types of graphics that are done on culinary art dishes. Maybe it is just me that sees this but check it out if you were not aware of the beautiful design in your shake.
looks like the perfect breakfast to me! yum!
I would have ditched the milkshake and went straight for the brownie!
