How to store leftover fruit milkshakes?
Put a leftover milkshake in the fridge within 2 hours (1 hour if the air is above 90 F), keep the fridge at 40 F or below, and check it daily. The FDA gives no fridge-day count for leftovers. Food kept at 0 F in the freezer stays safe indefinitely, though quality can drop.

In this article
How long can a milkshake sit out?
The FDA says leftovers need to be refrigerated or frozen within 2 hours. When the air temperature is above 90 F, the limit drops to 1 hour. A milkshake is made with milk or ice cream, so we apply this rule to it (our reading; the FDA page does not name milkshakes).
How long does a milkshake last in the fridge?
The FDA page does not give a number of days for leftovers or dairy. It says to keep the refrigerator at 40 F or below, check leftovers daily for spoilage, and discard food that is past its use-by date. It adds: when in doubt, throw it out. Because we found no official day count for milkshakes, we do not give one.
Can you freeze a milkshake?
The FDA says the freezer should be at 0 F and that food will stay safe indefinitely in the freezer, though quality may decline. We found no official guidance on how a thawed milkshake tastes or blends.
How do you keep a milkshake cold?
Keep it in the fridge until you drink it and put leftovers back within the 2-hour window. Use a thermometer in the fridge to confirm 40 F or below.
