Creamy Chocolate Hazelnut Shake (Vegan)
Serves: 1-2
A creamy, dairy-free milkshake featuring chocolate and hazelnuts.
Ingredients
-
¾ cup water
-
¼ cup whole hazelnuts (with or without skin), soaked in water overnight and drained
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds
-
1 tablespoon raw cacao powder, or cocoa powder
-
3 to 4 dates, pitted
-
pinch of salt
-
10 ice cubes
Instructions
-
Combine the water, hazelnuts, chia seeds, cacao powder, dates, and salt in a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth. Adjust any ingredients to taste, then add in the ice and blend again to create a milkshake-like texture.
-
Pour into two glasses and serve immediately!
Notes:
-
The chia seeds are included in this recipe as a thickener, but feel free to leave them out if you don’t care for them. (A frozen banana is usually my go-to choice for thickening milkshakes, but I didn’t want the banana flavor in this particular recipe. )
-
I would guess that any other nuts would work instead of hazelnuts, so feel free to experiment if you feel so inclined.
