Cake Batter Milkshake


Cake Batter Milkshake

(100% raw and sugar-free)

  • 1 frozen, large banana, as ripe as possible
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tsp melted virgin coconut oil (I used 2)
  • 1/2 to 2/3 cup milk (I used 200g almond) (For an extremely rich, “ice cream”-like shake, try coconut milk. Also, use more or less, depending on desired thickness.)
  • If, like me, you prefer smoothies in a bowl, reduce milk, or add a pinch of xantham and guar gums, like with the Mint Chocolate Shake
  • Optional: for a more cake-like flavor, you can either add 1T coconut butter, or macadamia or cashew butter, OR very scant 1/8 tsp butter extract. But I opted to leave these out of the recipe, as macadamia butter is hard to find, and butter extract isn’t exactly raw. Or maybe even use a little melted vegan butter?
  • Optional: handfuls of sprinkles

Blend everything together in your Vita-Mix or blender. Add some sprinkles, pre-blending, and throw some more on top! (No, the sprinkles aren’t raw. See note, further down in this post.)

Well, That looks really good. It does remind me of cake batter by the way it is served. I don’t remember much about my birthday cakes. I think they were mostly the average store bought cakes with cheap toys on top. My favorite cake is cheesecake. Anyway, I just would like to try and make it someday. It makes me thirsty.
