We may be living in a text-happy, Facebook-loving world, but kids still like to set up lemonade stands. And when they do, they might as well sell the good stuff. This recipe is made with only real lemons, sugar, and water. 

This is an old-fashioned milkshake, made with fresh strawberries, sugar, milk, and vanilla ice cream.

It's like a fizzy milkshake, but there's no need for a blender or ice cream. Instead, New York egg cream is an old-fashioned soda fountain recipe that combines milk, chocolate syrup, and seltzer water. Despite the simplicity, it's surprisingly delicious.

Elvis isn't the only one who likes the combination of peanut butter, bananas, and honey. This smoothie recipe is thick and rich, like a milkshake. Kids will love it!

Made with fresh or frozen mango juice, along with a generous scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream, this recipe is indulgent, refreshing, and delicious. Even adults will enjoy it!
