Healthier Version: Instead of regular ice cream, you can use Greek yogurt or a low-calorie ice cream alternative. This change will reduce the sugar and calorie content, making it a great healthy option for those watching their sugar intake.

High-Protein or Low-Carb Version: To create a high-protein Bunny Tail Milkshake, you can add a scoop of protein powder to the mix. Opt for a low-carb ice cream and swap out the milk for almond milk to keep the carb count low while increasing the protein content.
