Sometimes I make a milkshake with some juice and it doesn't blend together.
Part of it's watery and part of it's icey. Help!

Thanks Bob.

There's always a Bob when you need one.

That sounds more like a smoothie.

Needs a polysaccharide thickener, such as algin or maybe carrageenan.
That's what keeps fast-food milkshakes thick even when they come up
to room temperature.

If you want a milkshake then use milk, cream and icecream and leave
out the fruit juice. If you want a slushy then use juices. There is no
mystery.

If you put juice in it, it's not a milkshake anymore - you're working
on a smoothie.

Presume your milkshake is made of milk. If you add an acidic fruit juice to
milk the milk will curdle. That is the acid will cause the protein of the
milk to solidify giving you lumps of soft cottage cheese in a watery
solution - curds and whey - little Miss Muffet.

Sorry, Winnie, but milkshakes are made with ice cream and milk. No fruit
juice.

You can't honestly say there is no fruit juice in a milkshake. A
blackberry milkshake has blackberries in it, right. Typically, whole
and crushed berries in a heavy sugar syrup. No berry juice in the
syrup? Are those dehydrated whole berries? I think not.

I think maybe we should turn this around. Define slushes as having no
dairy products. That's both more honest and more accurate.

WTF is wrong with you? If it's a milkshake it's ice cream and milk. Not
fruit juice.

Apparently, I incorrectly assumed you come complete with a functioning
brain. Silly me.
