Vegan Chocolate Sweet Potato Milkshake
Description
The Vegan Chocolate Sweet Potato Milkshake combines baked and peeled sweet potatoes with creamy plant-based milk such as oat or coconut, plus frozen ripe bananas to provide body and natural sweetness. Raw cacao powder contributes the chocolate flavor, while cinnamon and ginger add gentle warming spices that complement the sweet potato's earthy notes. Maple syrup can be added to adjust sweetness as desired.
The preparation involves blending these ingredients in a high-powered blender until fully pureed and thickly smooth. The result is a creamy milkshake with a balanced chocolate and spice profile and the natural depth of sweet potato.
Serving it chilled in glasses with optional toppings like vegan chocolate chips or nondairy whipped cream creates a rich and satisfying beverage. Leftovers can be refrigerated and consumed within two days, maintaining the shake's smooth consistency and flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes about 14 ounces or 400g, medium-sized
- 3 cups plant-based milk creamy; e.g. oat, coconut, cashew, soy, macadamia nut; use nut-free or soy-free milk as needed
- 3 large, ripe frozen bananas
- 1/4 cup raw cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, sweeten to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- dark chocolate vegan chocolate chips, coconut whipped cream or nondairy whipped topping, melted; optional garnishes
Instructions
- To bake the sweet potatoes in the oven, preheat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Use a knife to slash several holes through the skin. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 40-60 minutes (depending on size), until completely fork-tender. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly until you can handle them, and then slide the skins off.
- In a high-powered blender, add the plant-based milk, sweet potato flesh, frozen bananas, cacao powder, maple syrup (if using), cinnamon, and ginger. Blend until the bananas and sweet potatoes are completely pureed and you have a thick, smooth, and creamy texture. Taste, and add maple syrup to sweeten, as needed.
- Pour the milkshake into glasses and top as desired. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
