    Vegan milkshake ingredients and tips

    • Ice cubes.
    • Vegan vanilla ice cream: to make this vegan milkshake recipe I used store-bought vegan ice cream, but I do recommend you make our vegan vanilla ice cream, as it is delicious and so easy.
    • Unsweetened plant milk: any type of unsweetened plant milk will do, but I used almond milk. Using a different dairy-free milk may slightly change its flavor, but it'll still be delicious!
    • Granulated sugar: feel free to customize your vegan milkshake recipe with other types of sugar, like brown, coconut or cane sugar. Make sure the sugar you’re using is vegan. I've never tried making it with syrups like agave or maple syrup, but if you do, please let me know in the comments!
    • Vanilla extract: I always use homemade vanilla extract as it’s more affordable and extremely easy to make, but the store-bought version is also a good choice.
    • Feel free to decorate it with some cocoa powder or cacao powder, chocolate chips, or even chocolate sauce.

      Hey,

      I don't know where I went wrong with my soy and almond milk preparations, but it was indeed an awful of an experience!

      Yep!

      I had my Mom to help me out with the stuff, and the result - forgettable, to say the least!

      I'm thus not sure if you are being true to yourself when you say that the soy cream tastes way better than the conventional one!

      Maybe the blender was bad, whatever, but the fiddling proved to be thoroughly demotivating, to say the least.

      Sorry, but I would be glad if you could help me out with this.

      Though I can certainly do away with dairy, but we had been looking out for some Vegan options as a replacement for my parents, but it didn't really go as expected!

      Veganism is still in its infancy here in India, and if this would have worked which it didn't, it would have been a big help in spreading the word!

        Hi Mayank! I never lie to my readers, that's why they trust me 🙂 I'm so sorry the recipe didn't work for you, but it works great. Have you tried to make your own almond milk, it's delicious and really easy to make. Hope it helps.
