Tips
- For the creamiest texture, use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer. They help create that classic milkshake thickness without dairy.
- Choose a high-powered blender to ensure a smooth, lump-free consistency. If your blender struggles, pause and scrape down the sides periodically.
- Experiment with different plant-based milks like coconut or oat milk for subtle flavor variations.
- For an extra luxurious touch, chill your glass beforehand to keep the milkshake colder longer.
- If you prefer a thicker milkshake, add a few ice cubes or use less almond milk.
- To boost nutrition, consider adding a handful of spinach (it won't change the flavor!) or a scoop of plant-based protein powder.
- For a more decadent treat, top with dairy-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
