Ingredients for Oreo Milk Drink
Here’s all you need to make this dreamy drink (and yes, I’ve made it so many times I could recite this list in my sleep):
8 Oreo cookies (don’t even think about skimping – this is the star!)
2 cups ice-cold milk (whole milk makes it extra creamy, but any kind works)
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, but I like it slightly sweeter)
Handful of ice cubes (if you want that frosty milkshake vibe)
See? I told you it was simple. Now go raid your pantry – you probably have everything already!
How to Make Oreo Milk Drink
Okay, let’s get blending! I’ve made this so many times I could do it with my eyes closed (though I don’t recommend that – safety first!). Here’s exactly how I make my perfect Oreo milk drink every single time:
Crush those Oreos – I like to put them in a ziplock bag and whack them with a rolling pin until they’re in small pieces. About 30 seconds of therapeutic smashing does the trick!
Blender time – Toss those crushed cookies right into your blender. If you’re using sugar (I usually do), add it now too.
Milk it – Pour in that cold milk slowly – it helps prevent splatters. Ice cubes go in now if you want that extra chill.
Blend away – Hit blend for about 30-45 seconds. You’ll know it’s ready when it turns that gorgeous chocolatey gray color and smells like heaven.
Taste test – Quick sip! Need more sweetness? Add a pinch more sugar and blend for 5 more seconds.
Serve immediately – Pour into your favorite glass, maybe sprinkle some extra Oreo crumbs on top if you’re feeling fancy, and enjoy that first magical sip!
Pro tip: Don’t overblend or the drink gets too frothy. Just until smooth is perfect!
Tips for the Best Oreo Milk Drink
After making this more times than I can count (okay fine, I might have a slight addiction), here are my can’t-live-without tips:
Chill your milk first – I keep a special “Oreo milk” jug in my fridge because warm milk just doesn’t hit the same. The colder, the better!
Taste before adding sugar – Oreos are already sweet, so I always blend first, then decide if I need that extra tablespoon. My husband likes his sweeter than I do!
Crush some extra Oreos – Keep a few crumbs aside to sprinkle on top. That little crunch makes it feel extra special.
Blend in pulses – Quick bursts help break down the cookies without overworking the milk. You’ll get that perfect thick-but-drinkable texture.
Drink it fast – This isn’t one to save for later! The Oreos start softening immediately, so enjoy it fresh for maximum deliciousness.
There you go – my secrets to Oreo milk perfection! Now go make your best batch yet.
Oreo Milk Drink Variations
Once you’ve mastered the basic Oreo milk drink (and trust me, you’ll want to make it daily), try these fun twists I’ve discovered through years of happy experimentation:
Vanilla Dream – Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract before blending. It makes the chocolate flavor pop in the most magical way!
Chocolate Overload – Squeeze in 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup. My kids call this “chocolate squared” and beg for it after school.
Minty Fresh – Drop in 2-3 drops peppermint extract for a cool, refreshing twist. Perfect for hot summer days.
Whipped Wonder – Top with whipped cream and extra Oreo crumbs. Feels fancy but takes 10 extra seconds – my go-to when friends visit.
Banana Boost – Blend in half a ripe banana for creaminess plus a nutrition win (shh…they’ll never taste it!).
The best part? You can mix and match these ideas to create your own signature drink. My current favorite is vanilla + whipped cream – absolute perfection!
Serving Suggestions for Oreo Milk Drink
Honestly, this drink stands perfectly on its own, but if you want to make it extra special, try these pairings: serve it alongside warm chocolate chip cookies for the ultimate dunking experience, or pour it over vanilla ice cream for an instant milkshake. My kids love it with a side of fresh strawberries for dipping too – the sweet-tart combo is amazing!
Oreo Milk Drink Storage & Reheating
Here’s the truth – this drink tastes best right after blending! But if you must save some, pop it in the fridge for up to 2 hours max. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as the Oreo bits like to settle at the bottom. Never reheat it though – warm Oreo milk is just…wrong.
Oreo Milk Drink Nutritional Information
Okay, let’s be real – we’re not drinking this for the health benefits! But since you asked, here’s the scoop (based on using whole milk and all 8 Oreos):
Calories: About 250 per glass
Sugar: 20g (those cookies add up!)
Fat: 10g
Protein: 6g (thank you, milk!)
Remember, these are estimates – your exact numbers might change based on the milk you use or if you skip the extra sugar. But hey, everything in moderation, right? And this treat is totally worth it!
Oreo Milk Drink FAQs
Can I use plant-based milk?
Absolutely! Almond milk and oat milk work beautifully – just know the drink won’t be quite as creamy. My sister swears by coconut milk for an extra rich version (though it does add a slight coconut flavor). The key is using the same measurements as regular milk.
How long does it stay fresh?
Honestly? About as long as it takes me to drink it! But seriously, enjoy it immediately for best texture. If you must store it, fridge for up to 2 hours max – any longer and the Oreos turn your milk into pudding (which isn’t terrible, just not the same).
Can I make this without a blender?
You bet! Crush the Oreos super fine, whisk them into cold milk, and let it sit 5 minutes to soften. It’s more like chocolate milk with bits – still delicious. But for that smooth, dreamy texture? Blender’s the way to go.
What if I don’t have Oreos?
Any chocolate sandwich cookie works in a pinch, but the taste won’t be exactly the same. My emergency hack? Mix 2 tbsp cocoa powder with 1 tbsp sugar into the milk as a base – not perfect, but satisfies the craving!
