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! who didn’t eat raw cookie dough? i mean, even if i one day grow up and have veggie kids i’d still let them have that experience! lol. i love this recipe though and am saving it to my online cookbook (http://cookmarked.com)!
Oh I’ll definitely let my kids eat it too! Sometimes being “healthy” is overrated. You need to have some naughty fun ;).
That would’ve been amazing yesterday when we were in the mid 80s!!
Next sunny day we have, I’m making this!!
I’ll stick a banana in the freezer now to have it ready 😀
Oooo let me know whatcha think when you make it! 🙂
OK. Probably a dumb question, but when you say coconut milk do you mean “So Delicious,” the more traditional coconut milk often used in thai cooking or homemade? I’ve never made my own, so I hope it’s not the last option. 🙂
Hi Kristin,
You can use ANY non-dairy milk. But for a true “ice cream” like texture, try coconut milk (the kind used in Thai cooking that comes in a can). But I just use almond milk!
I just discovered your blog and think you are a total genius! Healthy milkshakes??? I’m hooked, I’ve had a cookie dough one for three days straight now. My hubby too. You rule. Period.
I’m so glad you found me! It’s always nice to hear from another cookie dough addict… the world needs more of us! 🙂
Katie, I think you should start pictures step by step of everything you make. It’s way easier to understand the process, and we would never miss a step. And always with the same result.
Ah! I’m new to finding your blog and going CRAZY! my favorite thing is that you can enjoy a good dessert and aren’t trying to lose weight!(obviously because your borderline a skeleton!) but thank you for sharing nutritious desserts with healthy fats(theyre important!)and antioxidants
LOVE IT! 🙂
I made this last night…AMAZINNNGGGG!
Aww yay! I’m so glad you tried it!!
I made my own version of this today, so I figured I’d report in. None of my bananas were frozen, so I added some homemade pumpkin fro-yo to make it thick. And yeah… I highly recommend the Pumpkin Cookie Dough Milkshake. 🙂
In my family, we always call raw cookie dough “smoosh-in.” I don’t know why. My mom and brother make it egg-less a couple times a year to go on top of homemade ice cream.
Katie, and anyone else who has actually tasted this smoothie:
Can you taste the banana? I can’t stand bananas. I wish I liked them because they’re so healthy but they make me gag. The ingredients in this are so minimal that I fear they won’t be enough to mask the overpowering taste of banana. I’d like to know before I try making it. Thanks in advance!
Maybe try a very unripe banana? Or sub Thai coconut meat! (That’s the white coconut that looks like a triangle, not the round brown coconut.)
Could you make this with your cookie dough cake balls instead of the raw balls? Love the website! Am on a milkshake journey this week! Can’t get enough of these yummy recipes!
I don’t see why not! 🙂
Is it healthy? Where can you find the nutrition values?
What is the nutrition info. for this? Sugar/cal?
Just made this milkshake and LOVED it! SOO creamy and rich! I didn’t have any cookie dough balls and I added peanut butter too for a little boost of protein. It is perfect!
I am not in the mood to make cookie dough balls (laziness takes over), but can I still make this? Will it taste like cookie dough??
It won’t taste like cookie dough, but it would still be delicious!
Thanks so much. Maybe I’ll wait until I have more energy, cuz I love cookie dough!
when you say coconut milk.. are you referring to canned coconut milk or the kind you can buy in a half gallon container in the refrigerated section?
just found your site yesterday and boy i’ve been addicted ever since. i cannot wait to try these recipes!!!
Thanks! It means the canned kind :).
What are the nutrition facts for this?
