2 scoop vegan vanilla ice cream
- You could use soaked almonds in place of almond milk. Add water and soaked (for 3-5 hours) almonds to get the milkshake texture.
- Soaked dates are a great substitute for refined sugar. If dates are not available to you add 4 tablespoon of sugar.
- Carrot Milkshakes can stay good inside the refrigerator for up to 3 days
- Extra flavor: You could add a pinch of cardamom for extra flavor. Cardamom can be rather strong, so you only need a pinch or two of it.
- Soaking dates is an important step you cannot avoid. If you have this recipe planned out, be sure to soak the dates in room temperature water for 4 hours.
- A scoop of vegan Vanilla ice cream can be added as you blend the ingredients to get a creamier consistency. I used unsweetened coconut milk vanilla ice cream when the dates do not turn out sweet.
- If you do not prefer adding ice cream, add ¼ cup of top layer of chilled coconut milk can (only cream part, skip the water).
