It’s that time of the year where we start lining up more outdoor activities and finding recipes for food and drink that will help keep us cool.
I’ve got a cool treat for you, right here! Creamy, caramely and cold.
The original #recipe comes from about the 1950’s and the date gardens in the Coachella Valley. If you were going to Palm Springs you probably had ‘get a date shake’ on your list of to-dos.
Now you can have one right in your own home and dairy free to boot.
Deglet Noor dates are the ones that are most commonly used for shakes because they give such a nice caramel flavor but you can sure use Medjool if you like. They are also delicious.
This recipe is quick and easy and that translates to less time in the kitchen and making smart choices for your plant based life.
A simple #vegan sweet treat that the whole family will absolutely love.

It’s so hard to decide when you see the display in the freezer aisle and all the delicious varieties by @so_delicious.
I reigned myself in and concentrated on trying to just buy their one so delicious dairy free vanilla variety to help me make this perfect shake.
Well, I did buy two pints of vanilla bean because my husband is famous for wanting to eat my food before I can get pictures.
Truthfully, that makes me feel good. He even said it was one of the best shakes he had ever had.
I mean it really does help to have a great frozen dessert to start with. One where nothing compares and you’ll just have to try them to see for yourself. All of them 🙂
Me too 🙂 Thanks Amy!
Oh, Beth! I’m so glad you saw this. You’ll be very happy about their choices too. You’re very welcome.
They’ll be so happy 🙂
It really is Dannii! Thank you 🙂
I agree Kelly. I bought it to just eat too.
I have bought the So Delicious dairy free milks but haven’t seen the ice cream! I’m going to store to find some ASAP! I haven’t had ice cream in over 30 years!!! Very excited! Thanks!
My lactose intolerant husband and son would be ALL OVER this!! YUM!
That looks like a super refreshing shake. I love anything with dates, so this looks good to me!
