A device and method for generating a frothed milk product from a milk composition employs a planar agitator blade having opposed, smooth flat faces extending perpendicularly of a longitudinal axis of rotation, and a smooth cylindrical outer wall between the flat faces; the outer wall has a circumferential length significantly greater than the distance between the opposed faces. The device produces thick milk shakes even when employing no-fat or low fat milk or yogurt in place of normal homogeneous milk. A blender having a blender blade with opposed flat surfaces and a smooth cylindrical outer blade wall, and having ribs extending radially outwardly along the opposed surfaces, serves to puree fruit or vegetable morsels with the milk composition, to produce fruit or vegetable flavored milk shakes.

[ I claim:] [1.] A method of generating a frothed milk composition comprising:housing a milk composition in an open vessel,immersing a planar agitator blade in said milk composition androtating said agitator blade in said milk composition, about a longitudinal axis, at a high speed effective to entrain air in said composition and produce a frothed milk product,said agitator blade having a pair of opposed smooth, flat faces extending perpendicularly of said longitudinal axis, and a smooth cylindrical outer wall between said opposed faces,said outer wall having a circumferential length significantly greater than the distance between said opposed faces,wherein said milk composition consists of a flavouring and skim milk and said frothed milk composition is a milk shake.
