    Vegan Coconut Milkshakes

    These dairy-free, vegan milkshakes are made with coconut milk. There are 3 recipes for 3 different flavours: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.

    Three milkshakes in glass bottles, One strawberry, one vanilla, and one chocolate.

    Who doesn’t love a good milkshake?? When you go vegan, you may think you have to give up those cold, thick, tasty shakes, but fear not! These vegan milkshakes will leave your sweet tooth feeling satisfied and you won’t feel like you’re missing out on classic non-vegan treats.

    These coconut milkshakes are:

    • Easy to make
    • Refreshing
    • Delicious
    • Sweetened with maple syrup (no refined sugar!)
    Three milkshakes in a row, starting with strawberry on the left, followed by chocolate and vanilla.

    How are these vegan milkshakes thickened?

    For these vegan milkshakes, I was trying to achieve the classic taste of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.

    The chocolate and vanilla coconut milkshakes are thickened with frozen banana, but each recipe only contains half of a frozen banana and you can barely taste it! Trust me, it won't taste like a banana shake.

    The strawberry coconut milkshake is banana-free because the frozen strawberry allows the shake to thicken without the need of any other frozen fruit.

    All three of these coconut milkshakes also use ice as a way to cool them and give them more of a shake texture. That’s why it is important to drink them right after blending. If the ice melts, these drinks will no longer have a “milkshake” texture to them.

    Also make sure you add the ice last, after you have already blended the other ingredients. You don't want to over-blend the ice because then it will just be water! You want the ice to still be a bit chunky when you drink it.

    Why coconut milk?

    These shakes use canned coconut milk as the base because it is thicker than most milks. Coconut milk is high in calories (about 400 calories per cup), but it is not bad for you in small quantities. Having one of these coconut milkshakes every once in a while will not harm your health or have a negative impact on your weight loss goals. In fact, it can benefit your health when not over-consumed.

    These vegan coconut milkshakes are much healthier than most!! Think of them as a healthy version of a treat.

    These shakes make either one large serving or two smaller servings. If you’re trying to lose weight and concerned about calories, I suggest sticking to half of a recipe, but it's okay to indulge sometimes!
