What's the difference between milkshake, smoothie and slushie?

[mercykill]

I'm trying to make a milkshake at home and I'm watching videos online and I type in "chocolate milkshake" and then some videos pop up saying "chocolate milkshake - the best chocolate smoothie", so is the a different or are they the same thing?

milkshake: A cold drink made of milk, a sweet flavoring such as fruit or chocolate, and typically ice cream, whisked until it is frothy.

smoothie: A thick, smooth drink of fresh fruit pureed with milk, yogurt, or ice cream

slushie: Frozen uncarbonated beverages are made by freezing a non-carbonated juice or other liquid. Machines for producing these do not require a pressure chamber, and as a result, they are much cheaper and easier to maintain.

The difference between milkshakes and smoothies are that milkshakes usually consist of *only* dairy products (and flavoring), while smoothies are made of both dairy products and real fruit.

Slushies are entirely different because they are essentially frozen soda. They're just made with ice and flavored syrup.

This is the best answer, OP

Milkshakes are ground up ice cream with milk mixed in, smoothies are ground up fruit, and slushies are grinded ice with sweet flavored syrup.

Milkshake and smoothies are softer and slushies are frozen

Milkshake traditionally has malt in it to thicken and give it a strong flavor.

Smoothie is just blended fruit and/or vegetables.

Slushie was invented by 7/11 for their crushed ice drinks that they add artificial flavor too.

milkshake is like ice cream shakes.. thick
smoothie is like a mixture of stuff... mostly fruits and veggies with juice
slushy... is mostly ice and sugary thin liquids

[mattmanyah]

slushies are syrup and crushed ice milk shakes involve milk and ice smoothies is liquid fruit and ice.

Your smoothie and your slushie don't bring all the boys to the yard.
