Milkshakes for Breakfast

When you begin breakfast this way the saying,
 
brings sweet joy.

And...who in their right mind doesn't wake up each morning dreaming of starting the day with sweet joy.  And...if you have kids what kid in their right mind wouldn't want a milkshake for breakfast?  So it's really a smoothie but the components of a milkshake are there and if you add enough ice it can be as thick as a milkshake. 

So what is in a vanilla milkshake anyways?
Milk
Sugar
Eggs
Flavorings

Minus the eggs we've got this covered!  And if you are privy to real free range eggs go ahead and add one!  Last session of our church's women's workout I shared my favorite smoothies, I mean milkshakes.  Here are my top 5.
