Quebec milkshake
Enjoy the original tastes of Quebec products in a delicious milk-based drink. Discover the distinctive flavors of the Canadian milkshake. This tasty refreshment is made with different ingredients from Quebec. Let's take a look at its specificities.
History and origins of the recipe
The Quebec milkshake has a beautiful purple color, which is explained by the mixture of milk, ice and blueberries.
The blueberry grown in French orchards has its origins on the North American continent. Frédéric Coville chose this variety of blueberries (Vaccinium Myrtillus) in the 19th century to create other easy-to-grow species. Thus, in 1920, the first American blueberry crops were grown.
The Canadian blueberry is a succulent little berry with a high fiber content. It is also enriched with natural sugars including oligosaccharides and pectins. Added to this are various antioxidant active ingredients (proanthocyanidols, anthocyanosides, transresveratrols, etc.) The bilberry growing in the wild is also known as blueberry.
Maple syrup is also one of the typical Quebec foods that make up the Canadian milkshake. We owe its discovery to the First Nations. According to the story, they would have cut the maple bark to fight against the famine. Thus, they discovered maple water at the base of the famous syrup.
