How to make this milkshake.
Add everything to the blender and blend until smooth and creamy. I like to use a high speed blender as it’s quick and easy and ensures the chia seeds and dates are fully blended.
Wait 10-15 minutes so the chia seeds get a chance to thicken your milkshake!
Add toppings. I like to use grated chocolate (vegan of course) and chopped hazelnuts.
Ingredient Substitutions.
Chia seeds: swap then with a chopped frozen banana instead to thicken.
Dates: if you don’t like dates substitute with maple syrup.
Vanilla extract: substitute vanilla paste or vanilla pod seeds.
Cacao powder: is quite strong tasting and some people don’t like it. Instead. substitute cocoa powder or carob powder in the same quantity.
Nut butter: Add in your favourite nut butter like peanut butter or cashew butter for extra flavour.
Nutrition.
