Craving a classic milkshake, but can't have dairy? Well, I've got you. This simple, dairy-free milkshake is rich, creamy, and so delicious you'll never miss the dairy.
Milkshakes are my favorite. Vanilla milkshakes, chocolate milkshakes, strawberry milkshakes, it doesn't matter. Something about the rich and creamy texture I just can't ignore. Even as a child, I craved milkshakes. When I was diagnosed with a dairy allergy as an adult and couldn't have them I was devastated.
Alas, my dairy-free milkshake recipe was born. So if you're allergic or intolerant to dairy no problem. This dairy-free milkshake is for you! Enjoy!

What Dairy-Free Milk is Best for Milkshakes?
Any dairy-free milk will work. I suggest using dairy-free milk with a creamy consistency such as almond, cashew, or oat. This will give your milkshake that creamy texture and rich taste. I use Planet Oat Extra Creamy Original Oat Milk in this recipe. Also, remember using dairy-free milk such as almond milk may alter the taste slightly.
Vegan Milkshakes
This recipe is easily modified into a vegan milkshake recipe. Simply substitute vegan ice cream in place of the dairy-free ice cream in this recipe.
