    Fan of chocolate? Me too! Coffee? Same! This smoothie brings it all together with the added creaminess from cashews and the sweetness of bananas and dates. Serve after meals as a dessert alternative, and I promise it won't disappoint even those with a strong sweet tooth—speaking from experience. 🙂

    Ingredients for the Vegan Chocolate Mocha Shake Recipe

    • 2 bananas, frozen preferred
    • 1 cup raw unsalted cashews
    • 3 dates, pitted
    • 1 tablespoon cacao powder*
    • 2 teaspoon instant coffee*
    • 1 cup plant milk

    substitution suggestions:

    You may substitute the cacao powder with unsweetened cocoa powder.

    Instant coffee can be substituted with its decaf version, or with chicory root/dandelion powder to forgo coffee altogether. Feeling adventurous? Add a shot of Turkish coffee for a real caffeine kick!

    How to Make This Decadent Shake

    1. If using frozen bananas, add them to the blender and blend on high until smooth. Add the plant milk if the blender is having trouble.
    2. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until creamy. Scrape down the sides if necessary.
    3. Adjust flavors to taste if needed: add more banana or dates for more sweetness, and more cashews for more creaminess.
