How to Make Oreo Milkshake (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Oreo Milkshake has become a beloved beverage across India, especially among urban youth and families during summer months. This indulgent drink combines the crunchy delight of Oreo biscuits with the creaminess of dudh (milk), resulting in a rich, chocolaty treat that appeals to all age groups.

The shake’s thick, satisfying texture and unique taste make it an instant hit at home gatherings or as a special after-school treat for children. By using toned dudh and limiting added sugar, this recipe offers a balanced approach, making it suitable for calorie-conscious individuals and those seeking a healthier alternative to traditional desserts.

Why This Dish is Healthy
Choosing toned dudh and natural sweeteners turns a traditionally indulgent beverage into a more health-conscious treat. The shake provides energy, protein, and the goodness of nuts, while keeping sugar and saturated fats at moderate levels. It's a delicious way to enjoy a festive drink without compromising on nutrition, making it ideal for calorie tracking and healthy lifestyle goals.
This Oreo Milkshake recipe uses toned dudh, which is lower in fat than full cream milk, helping reduce overall calorie intake. Cocoa powder provides antioxidants, while nuts like badam and pista add healthy fats, protein, and micronutrients such as vitamin E and magnesium. By opting for stevia or honey over refined sugar, the glycemic load is reduced, making this shake a smarter choice for blood sugar control. The use of minimal ice cream keeps the fat content in check.
Pro Tips
- 💡Tip 1: Use chilled toned dudh for a thick, creamy shake without excess calories.
