Vegan Frozen Chocolate with Crushed Chia Seeds, Peanut Butter & Bananas

A Zero-Guilt Sweet Treat That's Incredibly Easy to Make

Vegan Chocolate Shake with Peanut Butter & Bananas Vegan Chocolate Shake

With “New Year New You” in full-effect (can I get an amen?), I’m reaching for any sweet treats when the craving hits, but without those dreaded calories (probably not my boozy coconut chocolate ice cream sundae this time, sadly).  And my biggest indulgence to battle is ice cream, shakes, and sundaes.  So with ice cream on the brain, I began thinking about how good a smooth, creamy chocolate milkshake would be. Surely there’s a way to turn this classic indulgence into a healthy(ish) treat at home?? Enter my vegan frozen chocolate shake.  

Made by simply combining chocolate almond milk (it’s heavenly), crushed chia seeds, half a banana, a dollop of peanut butter, ice, and a quick swirl in the Vitamix, my take on the classic chocolate shake will not disappoint, and it will quickly tame any sweet tooth.  And for all of you that prefer a richer chocolate taste, freeze the chocolate almond milk into large ice cubes the night before.  That way, you won’t need to add any standard ice cubes, but you’ll still get that creamy frozen milkshake texture.  Truly, MKR

P.S.  If you’re not familiar with Chia Seeds, I suggest picking up a bag.  They are incredibly healthy, practically tasteless, and they add a great crunch when used as a topping. They practically melt into any smoothie you can mix up.
