Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Jazzy's Milkshake without Ice Cream

I wish the pictures would show how creamy and thick these delicious milkshakes are.

 



Jazzy's Milkshake without Ice Cream

1 1/2 cups soy milk
5 ice cubes
Big squirt chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, a spoonful of Sunbutter,
          or a few drops of vanilla extract
1 fresh banana, optional but very good and adds creaminess

Blend all of the ingredients until all of the ice is crushed.
*  I don't measure anything, I just add what everyone wants and blend. It turns out great every time.
*  If you blend too long, the ice will melt instead of adding to the thickness of the drink.
*  The banana adds a wonderful creaminess.
*  Our favorite combinations are...
    Sunbutter with chocolate syrup
    Sunbutter with banana
    Banana with strawberry syrup
    Banana with chocolate syrup
    Banana with vanilla extract

Egg Free, Dairy Free Banana Smoothie

I've been making these Banana Smoothies for Jazlyn since she was little. My girls still request them at least once a week.

Banana Smoothie

Fresh bananas, sliced
Soy milk or safe milk of your choice
Chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, vanilla extract or flavoring desired

Place all of the ingredients into a blender. Process until smooth. The thickness of your final smoothie depends on how much milk you add.
*  To make a single serving, I use a Magic Bullet personal blender, place in 1 sliced banana, add a big squirt of the flavoring they want then fill the blender a little over 3/4 full with the milk. Then I blend until smooth.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Strawberry Slushie

This is my healthy version of a Slushie or Icee you would get at a convenience store. My girls love these Slushies and request them quite often.

Strawberry Slushie

Juice, any flavor desired
Frozen strawberries

Place the juice and strawberries in a blender then process until smooth. By varying the amount of ingredients, you can change the thickness of the Slushie.

Egg Free, Dairy Free and Nut Free Hot Chocolate Mix

I haven't been able to find a prepackaged safe hot chocolate. Jazlyn has been drinking warmed soy milk with chocolate syrup stirred in. It's still chocolate and warm, but not the same. I have a recipe for a hot chocolate that needs cooked on the stove, but I wanted something that was fast and easy to prepare any time. This is perfect because you make a big batch with just 3 ingredients then it's available when you want it.

Hot Chocolate Mix

3 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups cocoa powder
3 tsp salt

Thoroughly combined all of the ingredients then store in a tightly sealed container.

To serve - stir 2 tbsp of the mixture into 1 cup of hot soy milk.
*  For variety, you can stir in a few drops of vanilla, mint or other extracts. You can also top with mini marshmallows or prepared safe whipped topping.
