This indulgent smoothie is meant as a delicious substitution of desserts. This dessert smoothie is paired with a fiber boost from the oats, a protein boost from the cashew butter and protein powder, and an anti-oxidant boost from the cocoa & dark chocolate. The coconut cream topping isn’t required, but it sure is a delicious natural & vegan alternative to heavy whipping cream or whipped cream from a tub. I did a quick video on how to make coconut whipped cream here.
I created this recipe for Albertsons/Safeway. For many more healthy recipes, you can follow them on Pinterest here!

Loved this one. My kiddos renamed it the No Bake Shake, because they say it tastes like no-bake cookies. Thanks for the great recipes.
LOL. That name is awesome – I like it better than what I named it, Beth! I’m so happy your kids liked it. Way to go encouraging their little tastebuds to try new things:)
This was so good ? Thanks for posting this!
So glad you liked it Harley!
