Healthy Coffee Milkshake [Without Ice Cream]
Description
The shake begins by blending plant-based milk with cinnamon, vanilla, and hemp seeds to create a flavored base. Adding cooled coffee and frozen banana slices thickens and chills the mixture, making it creamy without ice cream or dairy. Ice is blended in last to further chill the drink and provide a refreshing texture. The banana contributes natural sweetness and richness, while cinnamon adds a warm spice note.
Sweetener is added to personal preference after blending, allowing control of the shake's sweetness level. The recipe offers flexibility for low-speed blenders by cutting banana into smaller pieces or allowing it to thaw slightly for easier blending. Adjusting the coffee strength is possible by varying brewing method or instant coffee powder amounts. Additional plant-based milk can be incorporated to alter thickness.
This milkshake serves as a satisfying and energizing drink choice for those avoiding dairy and ice cream, with protein and fiber from hemp seeds if included. It's suitable as a coffee-flavored snack or light breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup plant-based milk
- cinnamon a few pinches
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds optional
- 1 cup coffee cooled
- 1 ½ banana sliced, frozen
- ice handful
- sweetener if needed
Instructions
- Place the plant-based milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and hemp seeds (if using) into a blender and mix until a milky consistency forms. Add in the coffee and sliced bananas and continue mixing until smooth.
- Add in the ice last, and blend on high until there are no chunks remaining. Taste for sweetness and add your favorite plant-based sweetener (if using). Pour into a glass and enjoy with a straw.
Notes

- Omitting ice is an option to avoid dilution or if a thicker consistency is preferred.
- Adjust sweetness after blending to taste with any preferred plant-based sweetener.
- Modify coffee flavor intensity by brewing stronger coffee or adding instant coffee powder.
