You won't know it's not a Banana Split: Dairy-Free & Vegan Smoothie Shake Recipe

BEAT THE HEAT & GET BONUS NUTRIENTS WITH THIS SMOOTHIE THAT TASTES LIKE A BANANA SPLIT! (NON-DAIRY AND VEGAN OF COURSE!)

All you need is a blender and some basic ingredients to make this delicious frosty treat that can be either more of a smoothie or a plant-based milkshake depending on whether or not you use frozen or unfrozen fruit ingredients! This shake / smoothie is sweetened with dates - no sugar added!  This is such a healthy and even more refreshing alternative to a regular ice cream banana split.

Bananas and cocoa powder make the nutrient-rich non-dairy base for what will make a delicious banana split flavor. This shake can be more or less chocolatey depending on how much cocoa powder your add!  Drink it as a snack on it's own or use it as the base for a breakfast, lunch or dessert bowl adding in whole fruits, walnuts, banana slices or other toppings - even plant-based whipped cream or sprinkles. We think you'll love it either way. We think this is the Ultimate banana split smoothie shake recipe! Here's the easy recipe:
