This recipe is just as indulgent, sweet, and filling as a date shake, only it is much healthier for you.

This date smoothie is the perfect combination of creamy banana, rich almond butter, sweet dates, aromatic cinnamon, and chia and flaxseed perfection. One thing you can count on, besides a nutty and sweet flavor profile, is that you will get a good amount of fiber by drinking this smoothie. This smoothie has multiple sources of fiber, including the banana, dates, flaxseed, chia seeds, and almond butter. All of these ingredients provide a mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which are necessary for optimal digestive function.

You remember that delicious almond butter we mentioned? Well, make sure that it is raw! The almond butter provides healthy fats and protein, two nutrients that help you feel full.

Besides the creamy texture and prominent peanut flavor, this smoothie comes together with a handful of pantry staples, including oats, peanut butter, and banana. It’s a great smoothie to have along your weight loss journey, serving as a filling breakfast option during busy mornings.

If you are not a fan of oatmeal but want enjoy the health benefits of oats, blending them into a smoothie is a great way to do that. Oats offer protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, and some studies indicate that they may aid digestion and benefit heart health. Don’t worry about the oats making the smoothie taste too dry or grainy. While they may add a slightly grainy texture to the smoothie, the creaminess of the banana and peanut butter make this smoothie very enjoyable to drink. To make the smoothie extra creamy and almost milkshake-like, make sure to peel, slice, and freeze the bananas overnight. Frozen bananas are the ticket to the perfect smoothie!

When it comes to which oats to add to this smoothie, you should choose rolled oats or quick oats. Both varieties are great because they are soft and chewy, therefore they blend easily. Do not use steel cut oats, unless you want an unpleasant smoothie drinking experience. Because oats are great sources of fiber, they help fill you up and keep you from snacking between meals. That’s great news for your weight loss efforts!

We can’t just give you a plain Jane smoothie in this day and age. It has to wow your taste buds! This key lime pie smoothie, which is 100% raw vegan, is incredible indulgent, but you can enjoy it without worrying about sugar intake. Unlike the classic pie, this smoothie is gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and only sweetened with a little maple syrup. You can, however, adjust the sweetness level to your desired taste.

The secret ingredient in this smoothie is, believe it or not, the avocado. It creates a luxuriously thick texture that makes this smoothie seem more like a milkshake. Just make sure that the avocado is not firm and underripe, or too mushy and overripe. You want the avocado to be just right, just like the porridge was for Goldilocks. An under or overripe avocado can dramatically change the flavor profile of this smoothie. It won’t taste like key lime pie, we can tell you that!

Although this key lime pie smoothie is sweetened with grade A maple syrup, you can use a different natural sweetener if you like. Raw agave nectar or alcohol-free stevia drops can be great options to sweeten your smoothie, especially if you are trying to remain keto.

How do you create a milkshake on a raw vegan diet? Do you add ice to homemade almond or cashew milk and then add other ingredients to flavor the shake? Smoothies occasionally contain ice, but milkshakes don’t. This means that you need to get creative in order to achieve the thick and creamy consistency you want from a milkshake.

This recipe may not be the best milkshake you’ve ever tasted, but it may come close. The reason for this is because of once special technique that helps you achieve a luxurious, creamy consistency. Once you make the almond milk, which is a very easy process, you pour some into an ice tray to make almond milk ice cubes. Once the cubes are frozen solid, you are ready to make the milkshake.

The key to making this vanilla milkshake taste amazing is to use high-quality, alcohol-free vanilla extract. If you want to get really fancy and spend a lot of money on this recipe, use real vanilla bean, but this isn’t a necessary step. Alcohol-free vanilla extract, however, is the only variety that you can use if you are participating in one of our cleanses. Finally, the greatest thing about this raw vegan milkshake, besides the amazing flavor, is that it has fewer calories than a traditional milkshake. Let us know how you like it in the comments below.

If you want to pack lots of fruits and vegetables into one meal, make a smoothie. For example, you can blend pear, kale, homemade almond milk, bananas, chia seeds, and alcohol-free vanilla extract and it will taste like a milkshake. It all depends on the strong flavors that you use. In the case of this smoothie, avocado is the base, which give this smoothie a beautiful creamy texture. The avocado delivers lots of healthy fats, magnesium, and potassium, and it doesn’t get in the way of flavor. The rest of the ingredients in the smoothie form a harmonious marriage to create a smoothie that tastes like a chocolate shake.

We want to clarify that this recipe calls for raw cacao powder, not cocoa powder. It’s easy to mix these up, but they are not interchangeable or even the same, especially while you are cleansing. Because the raw cacao powder exhibits that signature, bitter dark chocolate flavor, you have to balance it out with sweetness. The grade A maple syrup tames the bitterness, as does the slightly sweet raspberries, which also bring subtle tartness to the party. The homemade almond milk helps to give this smoothie a luxurious texture that you want to enjoy day after day. It’s the rug that ties the room together, so to speak. Any Lebowski fans out there?

Now, you are left with one decision to make: do you include banana in the smoothie? Some people tire of adding bananas to smoothies, and they do play a prominent role in many recipes. Bananas provide both sweetness and creaminess, so adding a banana will enhance the milkshake quality of this smoothie. If you want to experiment without bananas, we encourage you to do so. Besides, if you taste the smoothie and realize that you want banana, pour it back into the blender with a banana, blend, and then enjoy.

A green smoothie doesn’t have to taste like a freshly-mowed lawn, people. When you make it right, a green smoothie is perfectly balanced, with notes of sweetness that cut through the slightly bitter greens. For instance, this smoothie contains bananas and dates, two sweet ingredients.

The most important thing to remember when you make a kale smoothie is this: do not blend the thick stems. The reason for this is because they’ll make your smoothie taste extremely bitter. Now that you have that information, let’s blend this smoothie!

A chocolate milkshake is a dessert that unites both chocolate and ice cream lovers in just one slurp. Everything about a milkshake seems to take you back to a time when ladies on roller skates brought food out to cars, and Little Richard, Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis played on jukeboxes in diners. We’ve come a long way since that era, but have we become more conscious of our food choices?

Milkshake History

The milkshake first entered print history in 1885 as a “sturdy healthful eggnog type of drink” that contained eggs, whiskey, and other ingredients. Pharmacies sold these drinks as tonics, and continued to sell more of these “wholesome beverages” in strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla flavors by the year 1900. Milkshakes became popular drinks at malt shops in the 1920s and have been dominating the shake market ever since.

Fast food chains commonly sell milkshakes, and they are typically loaded with sugar, calories, unhealthy carbohydrates, and dairy, obviously. A chocolate milkshake may taste delicious, but your blood vessels have a different opinion about this classic dessert beverage. A single milkshake contains about 1,000 calories and 80 grams of fat, and it can dilate blood vessels and change the shape of red blood cells. Red blood cells are typically smooth, but they become spiky after drinking a milkshake, or other high-fat meal. One study even found that men experienced increased levels of the myeloperoxidase, an enzyme that has been linked with stiff blood vessels and heart attacks, after consuming a single chocolate milkshake.

We don’t want to get you down about milkshakes; rather, we strive to make people more aware of what they are putting in their bodies. You can still enjoy a milkshake today, especially if you make one of the following recipes. Using fresh ingredients and natural sweeteners, these chocolate shakes taste delicious. If you make them, let us know how you like them in the comments below.
