Milkshake Tips
- Serve your milkshake in frosted glasses! Put your glasses in the freezer an hour before making your shake for a perfectly chilled and frosted glass that will keep your drink chilly.

What’s In A Chocolate Vegan Milkshake?
Here is the basic ingredients for a vegan milkshake, including ingredient variations:
- Banana or Vanilla Non-Dairy Ice Cream – Keep it whole food plant based with a banana or use your favorite dairy free ice cream.
- Unsweetened Almond Milk – This recipe will work with just about any non-dairy milk such as almond, cashew, oat, soy, or coconut milk.
- Cacao or Cocoa Powder – Use your preferred chocolate. If keeping this raw, use cacao powder with the banana option.
- Vanilla – If using vanilla flavored milk, you can skip or add more for even more flavor.
- Frozen Banana: Instead of ice cream, we use a frozen banana. It helps to create a thick and creamy milkshake and also adds some natural sweetness. Don't worry if you're not a fan of bananas, the flavor isn't really noticeable.
- (Medjool) Dates: Dates are the perfect natural sweetener! They also add some fiber and nutrients as well. I highly recommend using Medjool dates because of their gooey texture and caramel-like taste! If you can't find any, regular dates will also work but you will need double to amount! If you don't want to include dates at all, you could use any other sweetener of choice such as maple syrup, honey or granulated sugar.
- Cocoa Powder: We used unsweetened cocoa powder in this recipe.
- Melted Chocolate of Choice (optional): For some ultimate chocolatey flavors, can be omitted but the milkshake will taste a bit different. Use vegan chocolate a vegan milkshake.
- Milk of Choice: You could use regular cow's milk or a non-dairy milk of choice such as oat milk, soy milk or almond milk. The higher the fat content of your milk, the creamier your milkshake will be! Make sure to use cold milk!
- Ice Cubes: To further thicken the milkshake.

how to make a chocolate milkshake without ice cream
This healthy chocolate milkshake recipe includes only 6 basic ingredients and is ready within 5 minutes.
For best results, you'll need a fairly strong blender. A regular blender won't be able to chop up the dates and create a perfectly smooth and creamy texture.
step 1: blend
Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
If you prefer a thicker texture, use less milk or add more ice cubes. For a runnier milkshake, gradually add more milk.
step 2: assemble
Transfer the shake to a serving glass and add toppings of choice such as whipped cream or cocoa powder. Find more ideas below.
