Ice cold and naturally sweet, this Healthy Vegan Chocolate Shake is a guilt-free treat with simple, clean ingredients. Almond butter, cocoa powder, banana, chia seeds and dates blended to icy cold deliciousness!
Before we dig into this chocolate shake, I wanted to tell you guys about my love for the stainless steel straw. I’ve been using these stainless steel straws since I received them last year as a birthday gift. The best part about them, besides the fact that they are a reusable + sustainable option, is that the metal gets icy cold from your beverage while you drink – acting like an ice cube!
Iced coffees, smoothies and milkshakes are delivered extra cold directly to your mouth! My husband thinks I’m nutty, but it really makes a difference!
It’s worth making the switch folks. For the sake of the earth and your coldest beverages!
Why use Stainless Steel Straws?
- Less plastic waste in landfills and less environmental pollution from plastic production. Americans use a boatload of drinking straws every year.
- They contribute to the cold-ness of your beverages!
- You’ll never be straw-less again! Drop a few in the bottom of your bag – no excuses!
- It’s one small contribution that will make you feel good! They’re a perfect investment to celebrate Earth Day.
How to make this Vegan Chocolate Shake
I like to think of this Vegan Chocolate Shake as a vegan frosty. It’s not overwhelmingly sweet, it’s smooth and cold, and it might give you a brain freeze. All the things you want in a milkshake, right?
With about 300 calories in this shake, it will fill you up, but with REAL nutritious ingredients, not sugar. If you want to add more chocolate flavor without calories, I suggest using chocolate extract.
