This easy vegan chocolate milkshake is so creamy, smooth, and luxurious.
It tastes like an indulgent treat, but has just four simple, healthy ingredients.
Plus it comes together in just 2 minutes.
What makes it a "healthier" milkshake is using whole food banana instead of processed, sugary ice cream.
Ingredients for Vegan Chocolate Milkshake
For this recipe you will need:
- Your favorite plant-based milk. Most often I use homemade almond or cashew.
- Banana. Frozen banana works best to achieve a thicker, creamier consistency. But you can use fresh if you don't have frozen on hand.
- Cacao powder. I use Navita's organic brand. Or simply substitute cocoa powder.
- Maple syrup. Or your favorite sweetener such as dates, agave, etc.
Also, a sweet lady named Catarine left a comment that she swaps out the cacao powder for a vegan chocolate protein powder for her 4 year old daughter's breakfast and I love that idea!

CATARINE
I love this. My 4y/o will not eat breakfast and I feel terrible sending her off to school with an empty tummy. Enter this chocolate shake. I switched out the cocoa powder for a vegan chocolate protein powder and I always freeze the banana and she asks for it every day.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! Seriously.

You know I love chocolate for breakfast!!! This is a great "chocolate milk" option for the boys. Freezing the banana gives it a wonderful texture too!! Love!!!

Sounds good to me Kaitlin. I just throw everything in to my blender too. I am on smoothies rather than shakes at the moment.
