Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Milkshake expire?
A homemade milkshake can last up to 2 days in the fridge if properly stored, while a store bought milkshake usually lasts up to the printed date on the package or up to 7 days once opened. Storing a milkshake in the freezer isn't common, but it can be kept there for 1 to 2 weeks.
How do you tell if Milkshake is bad?
A milkshake generally goes bad when it starts to develop a sour or off smell. Mould or unusual discoloration are also clear signs that it is no longer safe to consume. Taste isn't a reliable indicator since milk products can taste strange even when they are safe, but it's definitely time to dispose the milkshake if it tastes sour or off.
Tips for storing Milkshake to extend shelf life
• Always keep the milkshake refrigerated - it should not stay at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
• It is better to store the milkshake in the back of the fridge where it’s coldest, not in the door.
• If you want to freeze a milkshake, you should put it in an airtight container or a heavy-duty freezer bag to keep out moisture and other flavors.
• To defrost a frozen milkshake, place it in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
