As the weather warms up, we could think of nothing better than a delicious milkshake to cool down with! However, the creamiest of milkshakes don’t always have to come from dairy – in this recipe we’ve used a few clever swaps to make a vegan ‘mylkshake’ that tastes as good as the real thing. And because we’re using quality whole ingredients, we can feel good knowing exactly what’s in it.
We’ve created a few variations of the recipe, which you can check out depending on what equipment you have on hand!

Delicious! I left out the coconut sugar as the kids and I thought it was sweet enough w/ the dates.
