Tips For A Perfect Coffee Milkshake
The ratio for real nice, thick milk shake is about 14-16 ounces of ice cream (solid ingredients) and 2 ounces of liquid ingredients (coffee/ espresso).
Don’t forget to chill your glasses. This will ensure the milkshake stays cold as long as possible.
Best ice cream for a dairy free milkshake: if you want that rich, creamy, and silky texture that you get from a high-fat content ice cream then use a cashew based ice cream. Or use a coconut based ice cream (plain vanilla flavor). If you are bothered by the ingredients used in these dairy free store-bought ice creams, then you can make your own healthier homemade vegan ice cream without added sugar. And use that as a base in the shake.
If you prefer to make your coffee milk shake without ice cream entirely then use more frozen bananas and add some coconut cream for thickness.
Add chia seeds, hemp seeds or milled flax seeds for fiber and plant based protein. You can also add some peanut butter or or other nut butters.
