How to Make a Healthier Vegan Milkshake

Who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned milkshake? The creamy consistency of flavors like chocolate, cookies and cream, and strawberry—paired with a myriad of tasty toppings like whipped cream, cookie crumbles, and caramel drizzle—makes shakes a favored dessert for many. For those looking to eat healthier while on a plant-based diet—worry not! You don’t have to miss out on this indulgent treat. Here’s the lowdown on healthy vegan milkshake ingredients, plus a few dairy-free shake recipes to try.

Healthy Vegan Milkshake

So, what makes a milkshake healthy? Let’s first breakdown the average person’s daily nutritional requirements.

Although calories are not bad—the body needs them to make energy—eating too many of them can lead to weight gain. Based on a standard 2,000-calorie diet, the Mayo Clinic reports that the target range for a person’s total fat consumption should be between 44 and 78 grams per day. Saturated fat should account for no more than 22 grams of this.

The American Heart Association also recommends limiting the amount of added sugars consumed per day to “no more than half the daily discretionary calorie allowance.” For the average American woman, this equates to no more than 24 grams of added sugar per day. Men should consume no more than 36 grams.

So, how do these figures stack up to your average milkshake? According to McDonald’s, its medium vanilla milkshake contains 590 calories, 68 grams of total sugars, and 16 grams of total fat. The same shake from Burger King contains 580 calories, 85 grams of total sugars, and 15 grams of total fat.

How to Make a Healthier Vegan Milkshake

A basic milkshake is made using two ingredients: ice cream and milk.

Although not all non-dairy ice creams are healthier than dairy-based ones, you can generally cut back on sugars and fat by opting for the vegan version. Brands like Halo Top and So Delicious offer healthier dairy-free, nut-based ice creams that are lower in calories, sugar, and saturated fat.

You can also make “Nice Cream”—a healthier, fruit-based ice cream that is free of added sugars, preservatives, and artificial flavors. It’s made by blending pieces of frozen fruit like bananas or mangoes into a rich and creamy frozen dessert.

To make nice cream, simply blend three cups of frozen fruit with up to a quarter cup of your favorite plant-based milk. For more ways to make a healthier vegan shake, give one of these seven dairy-free milkshake recipes a try.
