Ingredients for the Best Plant-Based Milkshake:
Bananas – This healthy dessert is banana-based and non-processed! Frozen bananas are the perfect base as they add a thick and creamy texture to the smoothie and they are, of course, vegan-friendly!
Vanilla Bean – This adds a dessert-like flavoring to the smoothie! You can substitute this for vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste if you do not have whole vanilla beans in the pantry.
Pure Maple Syrup – This is the perfect natural sweetener for creating a tasty and healthy milkshake. You can swap maple syrup for maple sugar, coconut sugar, or other natural sweeteners.
Vanilla Protein Powder – Add a vanilla plant-based protein powder for extra protein!
Unsweetened Vanilla Plant-Based Milk – Vanilla milk will add to the robust flavor of the shake.
Sea Salt Flakes – Desserts are better sweet and salty if you ask me! Flaky sea salt will add a nice balance to the sweetness.
Chocolate Chips – Sweetened chocolate chips from a natural brand of choice will satisfy the chocolate craving and pair well with the sea salt flakes.
Cacao Nibs – Natural cacao nibs will add a nice crunch factor to this smoothie.
