These ten vegan shake recipes will come in handy for those days when spring fever finally hits and all you crave is a sunbeam, your sunglasses and a frosty sweet treat to cool you off and make you smile.
Spring. Is. Coming. Do you feel it? That warm feeling on the back of your neck. The squint in your eye and the urge to take off your fuzzy sweater and heavy winter shoes - and frolic around in a tank top and light sandals. It's the feeling of spring! And no matter where you live (sunny LA or breezy Boston) spring fever will catch your glance at some point soon and when it does you'll be wishing you had a tall frosty glass of something to match your sweet-n-sunny mood. I usually reach for a smoothie - or a vegan shake. So here are ten of my favorite vegan dessert shake recipes -..

11. And lastly, a dessert shake recipe!..
Peanut Butter Chocolate Bliss Shake
vegan, makes one tall shake
2 scoops vanilla soy or coconut ice cream
1 tablespoon vegan chocolate fudge sauce
2 tablespoon peanut butter, chunky
¼ cup soy milk or creamer (more decadent)
soy cream whipped topping
optional: diced banana mashed into the shake (or use a blender to puree a frozen banana)
Directions: Hand mash the ice cream, soy milk, fudge and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. Mash until a malt-thickness forms. Then top with another scoop of peanut butter, soy whipped cream and some extra fudge sauce if desired. Serve with a tall spoon.
And a very funny "vegan shake" in Justin Timberlake's SNL skit "Bring it on Down to Vegan-ville"
