No need to hit up Shake Shack or Steak n Shake. Get healthier and quicker peanut butter shakes right from your home!

This gluten-free and vegan milkshake makes a great way to start the morning. Ready in minutes, this nutritious blend can also be used to give you a sweet and satisfying energy boost throughout the day. Imagine a Reese’s shake that is actually good for you!

This was inspired by my Peanut Butter Balls as I am a massive peanut butter fan, and pairs well with this amazing Gluten Free Chocolate Cake recipe.
Ingredients to make a Peanut Butter Milkshake
- Unsweetened Milk – I use almond milk.
- Cacao Powder – brings the chocolate flavour to this peanut butter chocolate milkshake.
- Vanilla Ice Cream – can be any type, but I use vegan ice cream.
- Peanut Butter – either crunchy or smooth will work great – choose your preference! If you bought a big tub then also try my Peanut Butter Granola or Peanut Stew recipes.
- Ice Cubes – help with the texture of this dairy free milkshake.
- Salt – is the secret ingredient here, bringing out those sweet flavours!

Substitutions
- Peanut Butter – Other nut butters will also work for this deliciously healthy milkshake. Feel free to mix it up and find your favourite flavour!
- Flavours – Try adding or swapping out fruit or other flavours like banana, strawberry, oreo, or caramel!
- Vanilla Ice Cream – It’s possible to replace the ice cream of 1 to 2 tablespoon maple syrup to replace the sweetness.
Variations
- Deluxe – top with some vegan whipped cream and a cherry to top off your delicious peanut butter shake! Or try serving them up with my Peanut Butter Blondies.
- Kid friendly – you can’t get much more kid-friendly than a milkshake! You could crumble some Oreos or Reese’s inside for some extra fun. Also consider topping with whipped cream and sprinkles!

How to make a Peanut Butter Milkshake
Step 1: Add all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
Step 2: Add extra ice cubes to a glass and pour the milkshake in to serve.
Hint: I blend mine for about 30 seconds.
Leftovers
Leftover milkshakes are not the easiest to deal with. The fridge will leave them too liquidy and the freezer too hard. I recommend making just the amount needed!
Recipe FAQs
It depends on how you make them or where you get them from. My recipe is gluten-free, vegan, and refined-sugar free, so it is definitely on the healthier side of milkshakes.
You can make a milkshake thicker by adding more ice cream or adding cream or yogurt.
Absolutely! And I highly recommend it! It is a great flavour, it helps to fill you up, and gives you a nice energy boost!
You can! Swap the milk and ice cream for plant-based milk and vegan ice cream and you are all set! It is just as delicious and creamy, but is great for those with dairy allergies or those who choose to avoid animal products.
