[Joolies Pitted Dates ](https://joolies.com/collections/all/products/organic-medjool-dates-two-pitted-9oz-bags) - Medjool dates give this shake the perfect amount of sweetness, while packing in good nutrients like magnesium, potassium, antioxidants and more. 2. [**Goodmylk Co. Almond Mylk**](https://goodmylk.co/products/almond-milk-concentrate-6-pack) - This helps give the shake the perfect and thick consistency, while keeping it dairy free and vegan! We recommend starting with 1 cup and adding more to thin out the shake if necessary. 3. **Tahini ** - This nut-free butter made from sesame seeds is *key *to creating a creamy, milkshake-like texture. Some of our favorites are [Once Again](https://buy.onceagainnutbutter.com/collections/seed-butter/products/once-again-organic-sesame-tahini-16-oz)and [Thrive Market.](https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-organic-tahini?utm_source=google&utm_medium=pla_smart) 4. **Frozen Cauliflower** - Yes that's right! Frozen cauliflower is a little secret ingredient to getting a *super* creamy shake *and *a boost of nutrients at the same time. The best part? You can't even taste it, we promise!  5. **Frozen Sweet Potato** - Another hidden veggie to help achieve that creamy texture. We recommend baking a sweet potato then cutting and freezing instead of a pre-frozen bag for a fresher taste. 6. **Cocoa (or Cacao) Powder** - This gives the shake all the chocolate goodness, just like a frosty would taste along with ! Some of our favorites are [Thrive Market](https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-organic-cacao-powder) and [Santa Barbara Chocolate](https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com/rainforest-bulk-cocoa-powder/). 7. **Vanilla and Cinnamon** - These help to compliment the other flavors to get the frosty-like shake!   ## Optional Add-ins: 1. 1. **Ground Flaxseed** - This adds healthy omega-3 fatty acids and great boost of fiber, protein, antioxidants and more. You can check out more benefits of flaxseed [here](https://www.health.com/nutrition/flaxseed-benefits). 2. **Oats** - This grain is a great addition for a thicker and heartier shake. We recommend adding in 1/3 cup if desired. *Note: This recipe will no longer be paleo if oats are added. * 3. **Hemp Seeds** - Another great source of healthy fats, protein, and more. You can read more about the benefits of this nutritious seed [here](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/6-health-benefits-of-hemp-seeds). 4. **Collagen Peptides** - A great source of protein that also has many benefits for hair, skin, gut, and joints.
