Low Sugar Vanilla Milkshake Recipe
When I started cutting back on sugar, I thought vanilla milkshakes were out for good. But this version changed everything. It’s naturally sweetened with banana, still thick and delicious, and doesn’t leave me feeling sluggish after. It’s now one of my favorite little “mom treats” in the afternoon.
Ingredients:
-
1 frozen banana
-
1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or cashew milk for extra creaminess)
-
1 tablespoon almond butter (optional for richness)
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
-
Ice cubes, as needed
-
Optional: 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener (if more sweetness is desired)
Instructions:
-
Add all ingredients to a blender.
-
Blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Add ice for a thicker texture or more milk for a thinner one.
-
Taste and adjust sweetness, then pour into glasses and serve immediately.
