Notably Vegan

As it’s very difficult to find vegan mylkshakes to buy, learn how to make your own. These are rich milky drinks, all you need are a few healthy natural ingredients, a little know-how and a blender. Kind to animals, rich in fibre and a great way to fill a hungry tummy.

Ingredients for Your Vegan Mylkshakes

Great vegan mylkshakes start with a smart base, a thickener, a sweetener, and a flavour boost. Each piece has a job, so your shake turns out right.

  • Plant milks: Oat milk gives natural sweetness and a silky finish. Rerooted Organic is a good brand of organic oat milk . Or mix Overherd oat drink powder with water (code NATURALLY10 for 10% discount for first-time buyers).
  • Thickeners: Frozen bananas are the classic choice. They add gentle sweetness. Or use frozen mango.
  • Natural sweeteners: Medjool dates bring a caramel tone. Maple syrup blends fast and tastes clean. Agave syrup (a natural sweetener from the cactus family) is mild.
  • Protein and creaminess: Nut butters are good, as is organic soya yoghurt.
  • Flavour boosters: Cocoa powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt round out flavours.

Pick ripe organic fruit and fresh spices where possible. For an example of portion sizes:

  • 250ml plant milk
  • 1 cup of frozen fruit
  • 1 to 2 soft dates (or 1 tablespoon maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter

Blending Techniques for a Creamy Finish

Vegan chocolate mylkshake (The Simple Veganista)

  • Pour liquids into the jug first.
  • Then add frozen fruit and nut butters.
  • Pulse a few times to break up large chunks.
  • Blend on medium (then high) for 60 to 90 seconds.
  • Add ice slowly if you want a thicker, colder finish.
  • Taste and adjust. Add a splash more milk for a thinner drink.

Pour into chilled glasses for a thicker feel. Top with sliced fruit, a sprinkle of nuts, or a dusting of cocoa. Drink fresh for the best flavour. Leftovers don’t keep well, so sip up quickly!
