Vegan Vanilla Almond Milkshake!



















Hello fellow health and wellness lovers!

It's been awhile since I've posted an update...

This was a busy week: work, house-sitting, studying my coursework for Integrative Nutrition, and working on my health coaching business! I've also been spending time on my gardening blog! ♥

Anyways... last year around this time I found a health food store in Las Vegas, where I had a "Raw Vanilla Milkshake." I don't remember the exact ingredients, but this is what I came up with!

Vegan Vanilla Almond Milkshake
(2 servings)
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 1/2 cups ice
  • 1 medjool date (2 for added sweetnes)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 tsp. flax oil* (optional, see note below)
 *Flax oil is great for balancing hormones! ;)

Who ever said milkshakes have to be made out of sugar and dairy anyways?

  2. I think I definitely need to try this. How close does it taste to the real thing? Do you at least feel guilty drinking it? Haha

    Well, let me just say... it definitely wouldn't fool Jon (my dairy-loving significant other)!

    But I think it tastes fantastic! And I don't feel the slightest bit of guilt when drinking it! :)
