Tips And Tricks For Vegan Chocolate Shake
Sugar-Free Shake
Swap the sugar in this shake with a sugar-free alternative. Just add the sweetener to your taste, just as you would the sugar.
Blender Is A Must
You will need to use a high speed blender mix the ingredients well and blend them nicely together. You won't get the same results if you try mixing this shake by hand.
Thicken Your Shake
One way to make this a super thick shake, is omit the ice cubes and swap with a dairy free ice cream. It will give a super delicious thickness.
Variations To Vegan Chocolate Shake
Coconut Milk
Use coconut milk in place of the almond milk or do half almond and half coconut milk. This will help add more flavor and sweetness to your shake while also making it thicker.
Banana
Consider adding a frozen banana to your shake. This will add nutrients and help to thicken up the shake.
Protein Powder
Reach for your favorite vegan protein powder and add 1–2 scoops. It will add extra flavor and boost your protein.
Whipped Topping
Reach for some whipped topping to place on top for an added treat. You can even dust the top of your shake with some cinnamon or cocoa powder.
Vegan Chocolate Shake FAQs
What is a vegan shake?
A vegan shake is a dairy-free shake. For this recipe, I used dairy alternatives to create a thick and creamy chilled drink that is just like a classic milkshake.
Can I make this a vegan protein breakfast shake for weight gain?
Of course! Add in a scoop or two of your favorite protein supplement to the rest of the shake. This will make it a protein breakfast shake. You can also add in dates, banana, etc for added nutrients and calories.
What is a good substitute for cacoa powder?
You can swap out the cacoa powder with carob powder if you need. Just make the swap for 2 tablespoons of carob.
Can I store leftovers of this vegan shake?
The one thing to know about storing the leftover shake is that the ice will melt and water down the shake a bit. But, you can store your leftover shake in the fridge for 1–2 days.
However, I recommend making only what you plan to eat.
