Please be advised: this blog has a new title:
“Chocolate Milkshake Covered Katie”
And now, back to your regularly-scheduled recipes…
Yesterday, in the comments of the recipe for the Healthy Shamrock Shake, I brainstormed one way to make a cookie dough variation. One of my non-blogger friends saw the comment and asked if I’d make the shake for her for real. And that made me want one too…
Raw Cookie Dough Milkshake
Inspired by: Healthy Shamrock Shake.
- 1 frozen large banana, as ripe as possible
- sprinkle of cacao nibs or chocolate chips
- handful raw oats (blend some in the shake, and save some for the top)
- 2/3 cup milk of choice (For a rich ice cream shake, try canned coconut milk)
- tiny pinch sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- cookie dough of choice, or the following linked recipe: Raw Cookie Dough Bites
Reserving some of the chocolate chips and raw oats for garnish, blend together all other ingredients.
Want a Fudge Brownie milkhake instead?
Add cocoa powder and replace the cookie dough balls with the following: Raw Brownie Bites.
Growing up I ate raw cookie dough and I STILL eat raw cookie dough. I love any kind of recipe that includes something close to raw cookie dough — like Averie’s ball recipes. They taste like cookie dough (which is dangerous but so delicious).
Have a great weekend Katie!
Are you kidding? I used to buy the pillsbury cookie dough and put chunks of it in semi melted frozen yogurt. Not good for you at all, but chemical heaven when I didn’t know better. Your version looks really good and I really need one!
When I was growing up?! I still eat raw cookie dough and sometimes I make cookies just to give me an excuse to nibble on some dough 😉 I actually like the dough better than the cookies themselves! My favorite raw cookie dough: http://ohsheglow.com/2010/12/02/chocolate-dipped-chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-balls/
I keep these in the freezer and have one for dessert every night. They’d be awesome in a milkshake!! I’m thinking about chopping them up and mixing them into some homemade vanilla coconut ice cream 🙂
Yum!!! What a great idea and I am sure it tastes fantastic!
That first picture is the prettiest ever!
Makes me want a cookie dough milkshake, even though it’s currently freezing over here!
That shake looks amazing! I love anything “cookie dough”!
Yes I totally ate raw cookie dough growing up, even though my mom always told me I would get worms. 🙂
Perfect shake! I want this now. And yep, I ate/eat cookie dough. That’s why vegan cookies are the best–no eggs!
I don’t comment on your blog often(sorry!) but I just had to comment today and tell you your photos are looking so much better! They look amazing! I am so impressed. And the shake looks so good.. I’m going to try to resist my craving for one till after lunch 😀
Thank you so much, Heidi! I’ really trying to pay more attention to the rule of thirds and finding light areas of my house… but most of what I eat doesn’t get photographed… because I don’t want to spend the time. LOL I just want to eat it! 😉
Someday I should make a light box too.
Well I can really tell! What you’ve been doing is working so keep it up! And yes I know what you mean. I’ve been trying to take food pictures lately because I really want to start a blog but most of the time I just want to eat it(or feed it to my hubby LOL) and can’t take the time. Your lighting looks great to me. I always have a problem with it, but maybe that’s just because it’s winter time and I’m in Canada, haha 😛
Oh don’t wory; I have a ton of issues with lighting too! Now that it’s getting warmer, I take things outside. But like I said, it’s rare, because who wants to cart their food outside when all they really want to do is eat it?! 😉
Who doesn’t eat raw cookie dough? Hehe, I know I did and still do, for that matter!
Your photos just get more and more beautiful everyday. Quite the photographer! 😉
I still like it too. Shhh don’t tell my mom :).
