Sugar-Free Milkshake
(Vanilla, Coffee, Chocolate Options)
This is a flexible sugar-free milkshake recipe built around sugar-free vanilla ice cream plus almond milk, with easy variations for vanilla, coffee, or chocolate.
Yield
About 2 servings
Ingredients
2 Tbsp low-carb sugar substitute or about 15 drops liquid stevia
1 ½ cups crushed ice
1 cup sugar-free vanilla ice cream (store-bought)
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 heaping tsp instant espresso powder (optional, for coffee or mocha flavor)
2 tsp cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate or mocha flavor)
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra vanilla flavor)
Directions
Add ingredients to blender
Place crushed ice, sugar-free vanilla ice cream, almond milk, sweetener, and any flavor add-ins (espresso powder, cocoa, vanilla) into your blender.
Blend
Blend on high until the mixture is thick, smooth, and creamy. If your blender struggles with ice, use crushed ice or pulse longer.
Adjust texture
For a thicker milkshake: add more ice cream and/or ice and blend again.
For a thinner shake: add a little more almond milk and blend briefly.
Serve
Pour into 1–2 tall glasses.
Top with unsweetened or sugar-free whipped cream if desired.
Enjoy right away
Best enjoyed immediately; the texture changes as it melts.
Flavor ideas:
Vanilla: Use vanilla extract, skip the cocoa and espresso.
Coffee: Use espresso powder + vanilla, skip cocoa.
Mocha: Use both cocoa and espresso powder.
