5 from 14 reviews

A creamy, delicious chocolate milkshake made without ice cream, using frozen bananas and rich chocolate milk for a smooth, indulgent treat that’s easy to prepare at home.

Ingredients

Scale

Milkshake Base

  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 cup Organic Valley® Lowfat Chocolate Milk
  • 3 tablespoons Organic Valley® Heavy Whipping Cream

Flavorings

  • 1 large banana, peeled and frozen
  • 2 tablespoons cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the ice, chocolate milk, and heavy whipping cream. Break the frozen banana into thirds and add it to the blender along with the cacao powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Blend Smooth: Blend all ingredients until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
  3. Serve: Pour the milkshake into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for extra indulgence. This recipe makes two 8-ounce servings.

Notes

  • Freezing the banana beforehand adds creaminess and eliminates the need for ice cream.
  • If you prefer a thicker shake, add more frozen banana or reduce the milk slightly.
  • You can substitute cacao powder with unsweetened cocoa powder for a similar rich chocolate taste.
  • For a dairy-free option, replace milk and cream with plant-based alternatives.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding honey or sweetener if desired.
