    This batido de trigo recipe is the ultimate treat for any time of the year but especially during those hot summer days. It’s super refreshing, delicious, and easy to make. You only need 5 ingredients and you can customize this recipe however you’d like. If you’re of Cuban descent or live in South Florida then you must know how good this milkshake is!

    Ingredient Notes

    • Puffed Wheat Cereal – This can be found in the cereal section at your local supermarket. It can’t be substituted.
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk – If you don’t want to use it, feel free to use sugar and evaporated milk instead. But keep in mind that sweetened condensed milk will yield an ultra-creamy milkshake.
    • Milk – I recommend using whole milk but you can use skim milk or low-fat milk.
    • Ice – A must if you want a thick cold milkshake.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    1. Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste it and add more sweetened condensed milk or sugar if you want it sweeter.
    2. Pour in a glass and top with whipped cream, if desired.

    Top Tips For The Perfect Batido De Trigo

    • If the milkshake is too thick for your liking, add more milk. If it’s too thin, add more puffed wheat cereal.
    • My mom always adds one ripe banana, it helps to sweeten and thicken the milkshake. If adding a banana, make sure to add less sweetened condensed milk otherwise it will be too sweet.
