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.
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 :).
I guess I’m one of few who never ate raw cookie dough ;). I wouldn’t like the idea of eating raw flour and raw eggs. I preferred baked cookies 🙂
This shake if def on my to-do-list!
Of course I ate raw cookie dough – that’s why I always would designate myself “official bowl scraper” after all the cookies had been dropped onto the baking sheet. 😉
This one looks pretty darn good. No wonder your posts appear on Tastespotting more and more often 🙂 .
I ate a lot of cookie dough while my mother wasn’t looking. Maybe I am crazy but sometimes the dough tastes better than the baked stuff.
Aww you noticed? I’m always so so so excited when they (or foodgawker) publish one of my photos. Seriously, I jump up and down like a crazy person. Or maybe I AM a crazy person…
NO WAY- you actually did it!!!!!! you are SO SO SO TALENTED GIRL.. i hope you know that!!!! this sounds YUM YUM YUM.. i might just add 5 cookie dough balls to mine 😀
WOWZA fudge brownie? can this get any better?!?!? i THINK NOT.. you and your milkshakes BRING ALL DA BOYS TO DA YARD
Why stop at 5? hehe
Too bad it can’t bring all the prince charmings to the yard ;).
HA! Did I ever eat raw cookie dough…is that even a question?!? I STILL do!!!!!
Do you think it would be possible for you to just come live with me for awhile and take care of my out of control cravings for sweets? 🙂
Another yummy smoothie, Katie! Now if only I had a blender in my dorm room….
Fantastic looking milkshake! I love cookie dough I ate I wouldn’t say lots, but quite a bit. Sadly never homemade cookie dough though.
Luckily with vegan baking you can eat the cookie dough and no worries about that raw egg. In fact I ate a cookie dough cupcake a week ago it was fantastic!
I just made this, and it ROCKED MY SOX OFF! Luckily, I had everything in the house for the cookie dough babies, because I knew I needed to make it as soon as I saw your post!
Make the fudge one! It sounds amazing.
I did eat raw cookie dough and never really thought anything about it until one day my friend’s mom freaked out because I was licking the spatula. Hey, I never got sick, haha. Now I eat raw RAW cookie dough balls.
ate raw cookie dough all the time! still do.. 🙂 this looks deeelicious !
I love raw cookie dough! When I was little I would always sneak cookie dough when my mom was not. looking.
Half the cookie dough my mom made would go into me & my sister’s mouth instead of baking into cookies!
