Cacao Coconut Bliss Shake
I adore this shake because it combines the rich flavors of cacao and coconut with a creamy texture that feels like a little indulgence, but it’s all plant-based goodness.
This Cacao Coconut Bliss Shake has become my go-to morning pick-me-up.
I remember the first time I made it for a friend who was skeptical about vegan drinks, and their eyes lit up with every sip!
It's simple, nourishing, and I love how it feels like treating myself while fueling my body with whole foods.
My tip?
Always use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and creaminess!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using frozen bananas because they give the shake that creamy texture without needing any dairy. If you don’t have almond milk, any plant-based milk works—coconut milk makes it extra rich! And don’t skip the vanilla; it adds a lovely depth of flavor.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my cacao powder in a glass jar to keep it fresh and easy to grab.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I sometimes add a scoop of nut butter for extra creaminess and protein.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I'll throw in a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost—trust me, you won’t taste it at all!
- •If I'm craving something different, I swap out cacao for carob powder for a unique twist.
Storage & Freezing
This shake is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before drinking!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this shake ahead of time?
I usually make it fresh, but if you're in a rush, you can blend it the night before and store it in the fridge. Just give it a good shake before drinking!
