Decadent Chocolate Milkshake You’d Never Know Is Healthy (Vegan, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar Free, Easily Made Raw)

I’ve shared a few healthy treats this month (like these and these) but so far they’ve all been practical “tide-you-over-till-lunch” kind of recipes. A nice sweet treat, but not really dessert.

Now that we’re coming to the end of these 31 Days Of Healthy Recipes, I figured, it’s time to celebrate. And what better way than with the most decadent — but secretly healthy — dessert I know?

Enter, the most decadent chocolate milkshake evah!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large banana, peeled, sliced, and frozen
• 5-7 ice cubes
• 1 cup almond milk, or other dairy-free milk (this homemade hazelnut milk would be amazing -- or you could replace some of the milk with cold coffee, if you want a coffee/chocolate shake)
• 1 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder, or raw cacao powder
• 2 TBSP pure maple syrup (grade B if you can find it)

Optional, for serving:

• Chocolate fudge sauce (1 TBSP cocoa powder or raw cacao powder + 1 TBSP maple syrup + ½-1 TBSP water, as needed. Mix until smooth.)
• A few roasted hazelnuts, chopped, or other nuts (almonds, peanuts, or pistachios would all be good)
• Pinch of raw cacoa nibs, or other add-ons like shredded coconut or crushed banana chips -- whatever you like

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add everything to your blender, and blend until smooth. Depending on how powerful your blender is, you may need to add a splash more liquid, or use the plunger-stick-thingy to keep the mixture moving. I tested this milkshake in a vitamix and a less powerful blender, and both did a great job -- the vitamix was able to handle more ice and less liquid, but both were churned out thick and delicious shakes.
