Notes
Mix up your milkshake with any of the following optional flavor variations:
- Vanilla: Keep it basic but delicious with vegan vanilla ice cream, frozen banana, and your choice of non-dairy milk – from an oat milk milkshake to a milkshake with almond milk.
- Strawberry: A tasty combination of vegan vanilla ice cream, plant-based milk, and frozen strawberries for a berry twist.
- Chocolate: Ditch the coffee flavor and go for classic chocolate with vegan chocolate ice cream, dairy-free milk, and frozen bananas. Add cacao powder for enhanced chocolatey goodness.
- Mint: An extra refreshing choice made with vanilla ice cream, plant-based milk, mint extract, and frozen bananas. If you’re a chocolate lover, add in a tablespoon or two of optional cocoa powder.
- Peanut Butter: Make it rich and nutty with vegan vanilla ice cream, non-dairy milk, frozen bananas, peanut butter, or your preferred nut butter.
- Blueberry: For a fruit-forward delight, blend 1 cup of blueberry (or blueberry cardamom ice cream) with non-dairy milk and 1 cup of frozen blueberries.
- Peach: Delight in the Georgia peach with me by blending 1 cup of vegan peach ice cream with milk and 1/2 of a frozen ripe banana, if desired!
- Use a high-speed blender. To give dairy-free milkshakes the best texture, use a high-speed blender so all ingredients thoroughly blend and develop a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Chill glass. Place your serving glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before making the non-dairy milkshake recipe. This will keep the vegan shakes cold for longer and enhance the presentation.
- Adjust sweetness to taste. Taste the lactose-free milkshake before serving. Add a small amount of maple syrup or agave nectar for a sweeter flavor.
- Increase the coffee flavor. If you prefer a stronger coffee taste, choose an espresso-flavored vegan ice cream for a more punctuated flavor. Or, blend in a shot of espresso or a teaspoon of instant espresso powder.
