Cake Batter Milkshake (raw and sugar-free)

By HollyRN

If, like me, you prefer smoothies in a bowl, reduce milk, or add a pinch of xantham and guar gums, just like with the Mint-Chocolate Chip Milkshake.
Optional: for a more cake-like flavor, you can either add 1T 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 lol! (It is, however, vegan. I emailed Wilton.) Or maybe even use a little melted vegan butter?

Ingredients

• 1 frozen, large banana, as ripe as possible
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1-2 T melted coconut butter (or, you might be able to sub unrefined, melted coconut oil)
• 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.)
• Optional: handfuls of sprinkles

Preparation

Step 1

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.)
