I stumbled upon this recipe on a lazy afternoon when I was craving something sweet but didn't want to dive into junk food territory.
I remember the first time I made it, I accidentally added too much cacao and discovered I love it with an extra chocolatey kick.

Plus, knowing it's packed with wholesome ingredients makes it even better!

Ingredients & Substitutions
No almond milk on hand? No problem! I've swapped in oat milk or soy milk, and it still tastes fantastic. Also, if you want it even creamier, toss in a handful of soaked cashews or a dollop of your favorite nut butter.
Tips & Notes
- •If you're like me and adore the richness of chocolate, try swirling a bit of chocolate syrup on top—it feels like a special treat.
- •For those hot summer days, I sometimes freeze my banana slices beforehand, which makes the milkshake even thicker and creamier.
- •I love to sip this with a reusable straw because it just feels right—like I'm treating myself at an ice cream shop!
Recipe Variations
- •When I'm in the mood for a protein boost, I add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate plant-based protein powder.
- •My friend Sarah swears by adding a spoonful of almond butter for an extra nutty creaminess.
Storage & Freezing
This milkshake is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before consuming as separation may occur.
