My husband grew up with Ice Cube Shakes but I'm relatively new to them. I like how quickly they come together and how satisfying they are on a hot day. This one is "skinny" and I love it as an afternoon snack. Feel free to switch out what type of milk you use~ it's versatile!
Also, when making shakes, remember the colder the ingredients are when you blend them, the thicker the shake will be. This is pretty important for "skinny" shakes since they have a tendency to not contain ice cream! So chilling the milk and freezing the banana will really make a difference.
"Skinny" Chocolate Ice Cube Shake
adapted from a recipe I saw floating around Facebook
- 1 cup Almond Milk, chilled {those Silk Almond Milk singles are perfect!}
- 2 TBSP cocoa powder
- 1 banana {frozen is best!}
- 1/2 tsp vanilla {or almond extract}
- about 20-25 ice cubes
If you remember, peel a banana and break it into several segments, put it in a small ziplock bag and freeze it until you're ready to make this shake.
If not... don't worry!
Assemble all ingredients and place in a blender. Blend. Divide into 2 servings, or have a large 28-oz serving for yourself! Top with a bit of whipped cream or cool whip, a drizzle of chocolate sauce and a cherry. Yum!
