Making A Vegan Milkshake

Making a delicious vegan milkshake starts with having the right ingredients.

You'll need some dairy-free milk (soy, almond, oat, coconut—whatever is your favorite!) and some dairy-free ice cream.
If you want, use frozen bananas instead of ice cream!
Once you have those two main components, it's time to start adding mix-ins to customize your shake.
Add fresh fruits such as blueberries or strawberries, nuts like almonds or walnuts, spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, and even chocolate chips if that's what floats your boat.
