So you like your vegan milkshakes thick and icy? Well how about dreamy, creamy, decadent and rich? Like a melted vegan peanut butter cup! Sometimes I want to sip my dessert shakes-without a spoon! But I still want it luscious. No wimpy, watery or fat-free shakes for me. My Melted Peanut Butter Cup ‘n Banana (milk-free) Shake is what I crave . It has banana, peanut butter and fudgy coconut milk ice cream. It’s dessert friendly with a healthy twist….and for all you “make my shake thick!” people out there, I have two versions of this recipe: melted and thick. Both are pb-choco bliss…
First, here is the melted version, as seen in the photos. It’s for when you want something super rich and almost like a ice cold drinking peanut butter chocolate. It’s like the cold version of a thick drinking chocolate hot chocolate. And with health in mind, Bliss Coconut Milk ice cream, an organic banana, crunchy peanut butter and ice to blend it up, this shake beats a traditional milk-fat heavy cream-laden traditional chocolate shake any day. But oh boy, is it just as decadent…
Melted Peanut Butter Cup ‘n Banana Shake
vegan, serves two
1 1/4 cups Bliss Coconut Milk chocolate ‘ice cream’
*You can also use another brand of rice, soy, hemp or coconut ice cream. But Bliss is amazingly rich because it is made with coconut milk, which is higher in fat than soy or rice milk.
1 large banana, frozen or raw
1/3 cup coconut, soy, rice or hemp milk
5 big ice cubes
*(coconut water or non-dairy milk ice cubes work best)
1 Tbsp peanut butter
dash of cinnamon
Add the ‘milk’, cinnamon, peanut butter, banana and 1/2 of the ‘ice cream’ to a blender.
Add all the ice cubes.
Blend on med-high until the ice is blended. Then on a very low speed, blend in the remaining ‘ice cream’.
Now for version two…for a thick milkshake..
