Vegan Peanut Butter Cup Shake
Description
This shake uses water as the liquid base combined with chia seeds and soft Medjool dates for natural sweetness and texture. Peanut butter brings richness, complemented by raw cacao powder and vanilla extract. Blending these ingredients until smooth before adding ice ensures the chia seeds break down evenly, creating a thick, creamy consistency. The addition of ice cubes chills the shake while maintaining its smooth texture.
The flavor profile includes the nuttiness of peanut butter balanced with bittersweet chocolate from the cacao powder and subtle vanilla notes. Sea salt can be added if the peanut butter is unsalted, enhancing overall flavor. It serves as a refreshing, indulgent vegan beverage suitable for a snack or dessert.
For easier blending without a high-speed blender, soaking chia seeds and dates in water beforehand softens them and improves processing.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter all-natural
- 3 Medjool dates pitted, soft
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- sea salt if using unsalted peanut butter, pinch
- 3 ice cubes handfuls
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients, except for the ice, in a high-speed blender and blend until the seeds are completely broken down. Add in the ice and blend again to create a thicker shake that's cold and creamy. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Soak chia seeds and dates in water at least 20 minutes or overnight to aid blending if a high-speed blender is unavailable.
- Add a pinch of sea salt if using unsalted peanut butter to enhance flavor.
