Decadent chocolate date shake FAQ:

What can I substitute for almond milk in this shake?

You can use other plant-based milks like soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk as substitutes for almond milk. If you’re not avoiding dairy, regular whole milk or even chocolate milk can also work well.

How can I adjust the sweetness of the shake?

To make the shake sweeter, you can add more sugar or an additional date. Blend again after adjusting to ensure everything is combined well.

What if I don't have dry cocoa powder?

If you don’t have dry cocoa powder, you can use unsweetened chocolate syrup as an alternative. Just remember to adjust the sweetness accordingly since syrup usually contains sugar.

How long can I store a leftover chocolate date shake?

You can store any leftover shake in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, it’s best to consume it immediately for optimal flavor and texture.

What blender works best for making this shake?

A high-speed blender is recommended for this shake to ensure a smooth consistency, especially when blending the dates. If you have a regular blender, you may need to blend a bit longer to fully incorporate all ingredients.

Tips:

- Ensure your date is pitted before blending to avoid any hard bits.

- For an extra creamy shake, consider using frozen almond milk cubes instead of a water cube.

- If you prefer a sweeter shake, add an extra date or a touch more sugar to taste.

- For a thicker consistency, add ice cubes or a frozen banana.

- To enhance the chocolatey flavor, add a pinch of sea salt.
