My daughter recently asked me for a milkshake. With her severe allergies to dairy, I knew I would have to come up with a clever alternative. Rather than turning to Google, we came up with our vegan chocolate milkshake and I must admit, it’s delicious!

Mashed frozen banana is an excellent replacement for ice cream, as it’s smooth and has a similar consistency to ice cream.

I knew this would have to be the base for my daughter’s dairy-free milkshake. Very ripe bananas give more banana flavour than yellow bananas. Decide how much of a banana flavour appeals to you when selecting your bananas.

I love that I was able to come up with something that she can enjoy.
