Milkshakes are made by whipping in a shaker or milk mixer with the addition of various ingredients. This type of mocktail is great because it allows you to use healthy foods like oatmeal or wheat germ. In addition, it only makes sense to add chocolate, coffee or cocoa to a milkshake. These drinks contain calcium, which plays a major role in the development of the skeleton and teeth. When it is washed out of the body, which often happens in people who abuse coffee and alcohol, bones become fragile, pains in the limbs, cramps occur, and teeth begin to slowly decay. Calcium is most successfully absorbed in an acidic environment, in the presence of vitamins C and D. From this point of view, cocktails containing, in addition to milk, orange or grapefruit juices are much healthier for the body than simply consuming dairy products.
In addition to calcium, all milk-based cocktails contain phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and sodium, and the latter two are in their ionic-molecular state, which leads to almost one hundred percent absorption. These elements are indispensable for the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system and hematopoiesis. A significant difference between milkshakes and juice-based drinks is the content of proteins necessary for normal development and muscle function, therefore they are preferred by athletes and people who are fond of fitness. The milk contained in such cocktails has the best effect on the digestive system, especially on the stomach and intestines, respectively, even those who are afraid of the harmful effects of the acid found in fruits and vegetables can use them as part of such mocktails.
The most popular milkshakes with coffee or chocolate, to which a few scoops of ice cream are traditionally added. Their benefits for the body can hardly be overestimated, primarily due to their truly unique ability to improve mood and cope with depression, fatigue and irritability. Even very strong coffee drunk as part of a milkshake is much safer for the body than the drink itself, since milk softens its effect on the stomach and replenishes calcium losses. Chocolate is rich in many vitamins and promotes the production of the mood-boosting hormone serotonin. Recent studies by Harvard University on the effects of cocoa on the human body have found in the beans of this plant a unique substance called epicatechin, which, when consumed regularly, reduces the risk of stroke, cancer and diabetes by 10%. Coffee and chocolate cocktails can be mixed with honey, almonds, hazelnuts, or strawberry syrup to enhance the flavor.
