Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 bananas frozen for at lease 24 hours when super-ripe and spotty. Be sure to peel before freezing.
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter any type, plus extra for drizzling
- 1½ cups soymilk any type of dairy-free milk will work, but vanilla soymilk tastes best
- vegan whipped cream optional
- vegan mini chocolate chips optional
- 2 Maraschino cherries optional
Instructions
- Prepare two glasses by drizzling or smearing some peanut butter on the sides. This is purely decorative, so feel free to skip this step!
- In a high-powered blender, add the frozen bananas, peanut butter and soymilk. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to mix with a spoon and remove air pockets as needed whenever your blender struggles to blend.
- Pour into two glasses, and if desired, top with vegan whipped cream, a drizzle of peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, and enjoy!
Notes
- Perfect Drizzle, Every Time: Warm up that peanut butter for a few seconds in the microwave, and suddenly, you’ve got the perfect drizzle. Just grab a spoon and go to town!
- Thick or Thin, Your Call: Like your shakes extra thick? Use less soymilk. Want it more sippable? Add a splash more. It’s your milkshake—you’re in control!
- More Peanut Butter, Please! Love peanut butter? Toss in an extra spoonful (or two) for a stronger hit of that nutty goodness. And yes, it works the other way around too!
- Any Peanut Butter Will Do: Smooth, crunchy, natural, or Skippy-style, it’s all good here. For a healthier option, stick with natural peanut butter. But if you’re feeling indulgent, the sugar and oil in classic Skippy will make it extra rich. You can even make your own if you’re feeling fancy!
- Vanilla Soymilk = Next Level: Vanilla soymilk makes this taste like the real-deal ice cream shake. But don’t worry—almond, cashew, oat, or whatever plant-based milk you’ve got will still work like a charm.
- Freeze Extra Bananas: Always have frozen bananas on hand! That way, you’re only ever a few minutes away from milkshake heaven. Trust us, once you start making these, you’ll want to keep a stash ready.
