Confused Between Smoothie and Milkshake?

People consider them same, but it isn’t. However, they’re quite different from each other in terms of preparation as well the consistency.

Milkshake is a sweet beverage which has more of dairy content in comparison to smoothies. What makes this yummy delight different from the rest is its numerous toppings like cut fruits, whipped cream, marshmallows, candies and more.

Milkshake usually contains milk and ice cream. It contain ample of fruits and additional flavors. We add chocolate, strawberry syrups, malt syrup, sugar syrup etc. to sweeten it . Whereas, smoothie contains blended yogurt, fruits, seeds and purees.

Milkshakes are quite rich in fat and sugar content, unlike smoothies. Smoothies are rich in carbs and low in fat because they are made from real fruits and vegetables.
