Vegan Chocolate Milkshake

Author Notes

You’ll never believe that this shake is made with as few ingredients as it is, or that they’re all so ridiculously wholesome. Feel free to experiment a little with the non-dairy milk base you use, as well as the nut butter (cashew, coconut, and sunflower seed butter will all work; so will peanut butter, though the taste will be strong). This is a good recipe to treat more as a template than a prescription. —Gena Hamshaw
