What did you say?
I’m supposed to write commentary for this post?
I can’t think straight right now, so that might present a problem. All that’s going through my brain is:
peanut butter cookie dough. peanut butter cookie dough. peanut butter cookie dough.
Wait, was I saying something?
I lost my train of thought again.
peanut butter cookie dough. peanut butter cookie dough. peanut butter cookie dough.

PB Cookie Dough Shake
Inspired by this drink
- 1 frozen large banana, as ripe as possible
- 1-2 T nut butter (or more if desired)
- 2/3 cup milk (For an extremely rich, “ice cream”-like shake, try using coconut milk for some of the amount. Also, use more or less, depending on desired thickness.)
- If, like me, you prefer smoothies in a bowl, add a pinch of xantham and guar gums (or just reduce milk)
- peanut butter cookie dough (recipe linked below)
- Optional: vanilla extract, a pinch of sea salt, chocolate syrup or cocoa powder
Blend everything together.
Over the top, crumble a PB Cookie Dough Cookie.
I wasn’t kidding when I said those pb cookies are addictive.
Crumbling a cookie on top will take the milkshake to new heights. Of course, the fun blue straws help with that too.
The cute straws are from my favorite dish store.
As is the milkshake glass. I really wish they’d open one of those stores in Texas. And even my wallet wouldn’t mind; the gorgeous glass was all of $3.50!
Question of the Day:
Tiramisu, Crème Brulee, Red Velvet Cake…
What are some desserts you can think of that might make good milkshake flavors?
I’m working on a Caramel-Apple shake to hopefully post soon!
P.S. I’m so honored to be a guest on my friend Jenna’s blog today.

Why oh why did you have to post this up when I have no bananas in the house! *lol* Well, I know what to add to my shopping list for tonight
This is my daughter’s favorite smoothie combination. It’s so good!
That is without a doubt the prettiest picture I have ever seen.
EVER!
Thanks, Sara! It’s one of my favorites too… funny, because it made a mess! At first, I accidentally poured it all over the table as I was trying to take a picture!
Hmm..cheesecake milkshake? Apple cake milkshake? I am probably a bit cake-obsessed
)
But this smoothie looks so good! Unfortunately I have none of the infredients at home (except for milk)
Holy cow that looks amazing!! This is my husband’s absolute favorite! Thank you!
A flavor that I think would be awesome is a chocolate Tiramisu! You can’t go without the chocolate!
Red Velvet Cake would be awesome! Maybe lemon meringue pie?
I think PB cookie dough milkshake sounds like the best thing EVER!! I am getting hungry just LOOKING at it, and I’ve just had lunch!
I am definitely going to make those cookies. And then the milkshake mmmmm…
Hmmm… I don’t really drink milkshakes… Have never drank any before! But by the sound of the ingredients, I would love tiramisu milkshake!!!
I can’t think of a good flavor, because all I can think of right now is this!
Yes! I want me a red velvet cake smoothie!
OMG! This looks so amazing! You are so right… no commentary needed, the pictures do it all.
I’m really excited to see this recipe because I have bananas that are ripe-as-can be! I’m definitely making this as soon as I get home. How do you think Nutella would be instead of pb?! (It’s my new obsession!)
Ooh I love the idea of using a flavored nut butter! Definitely try it!
caramel-apple all the way!!!!!!!!!! and it is almost pumpkin season again… I am soooo excited!!!!!!!
Yuuum!!!!! That milkshake looks sooo awesome!
I would die for a butterfingers milkshake (all-natural, of course!)
This sounds delicious! Since it is so hot outside I love having a smoothie or two each day!
Red Velvet Cake smoothie sounds really good!
Oh my gosh!
I have no word!
Only <3
That has to be one of the cutest photos I’ve seen on your blog, Katie. *love*
Desserts that come to mind for fun shake flavors: angel food cake (my all-time favorite dessert, haha), Boston Cream Pie (…? Don’t know why, don’t think I’ve ever had that), German Chocolate Cake Shake (it rhymes!), Cotton Candy, Sugar Cookie, Strawberry Shortcake…whee…
Sugar cookie… oh my.
Could you post your sugar cookie recipe some time, Katie?
Yum a tiramisu milkshake sounds like a great idea! How about pumpkin or pecan pie?
I have no words just :O
I think a lemon meringue pie flavoured shake would be delish.
x
This is totally off topic, but I’m wandering around the grocery store and need to know if coconut butter and coconut oil are the same
No, they are not the same. Check out the faq on the premierorganics website.
Yum that looks good. I am not a fan of real milkshakes, I always think they are so rich and leave me thirsty, but this one looks good with the banana. I think banana and toffee (like banoffee pie) would be a good combo. Not sure how you would do the toffee flavour though?
Hmmm… I don’t even really know what toffee is. Caramel mixed with chocolate? I mean, of course I’ve had it before, but I never really thought about how it’s made!
You probably just posted my favorite-peanut butter shake……add some chocolate and it would be even better, right? A reese’s shake…kinda….
If you could somehow make an oreo blizzard (from DQ!), that would be absolutely amazing. It used to be my favorite flavor years ago. Mmmmm….
I am loving this peanut butter series! Dangerous but wonderful! I just need to steal your metabolism….or add a couple hours of exercise per day
Katie! I was just watching this music video by Selena Gomez (yes, I am eleven years old) and I saw that at 1:09-1:10 she looks just like you! Watch it!
LOL!
And at first I scrolled too far and saw her in a white wig. I was like, “I hope I don’t look like that!”
I seriously drink a banana & pb smoothie every morning! They are the best and so filling. I haven’t tried it with coconut milk yet, but will definitely give it a whirl!
=O <— my awestruck expression at the phenomenal sight of this recipe.
I love pb and banana smoothies for breakfast too! For a more dessert-like shake, how about pink peppermint with brownie crumbles?
Oh wow. I am actually drooling. That looks SO GOOD!
Also, as somebody who’s made a red velvet cake shake before, I can tell you that it’s super easy and delicious! I basically combined a vegan red velvet cupcake, chocolate sorbet, and almond milk, and it was super delicious. But I’m sure you can think of an easier way to make one without having to bake cupcakes every time I want a milkshake.
Oh my gosh I don’t think my brain would be able to think with that too! Those straws are too cute. Very very cute
I just found a place online that sells all sorts of crazy straws… I bought 5 types (only $20 total) as a birthday present to myself.
Hmm – boston cream pie milkshake? Pumpkin pie milkshake? Pecan pie milkshake? Pop rocks milkshake? Orange creamsicle milkshake? Pina colada? I heard about a diner that makes milkshakes and actually puts in a piece of real pie into the blender with the ice cream and milk! So tempting to try this at home … OK – now I feel the need to go lay out in the sunshine with some 80′s tunes and a tall FROSTY drink! Unfortunately, the best I can do right now is a 3 mile run by the river for now, dreaming of milkshakes! Have to admit – I’m loving all the things almond milk can do! thanks for my happy thought of the day!
Boston cream pie. That sounds so good!
Say what…say what…say what!! This has got me, you got me! I am droolin just a tad. Haha!
Great one Katie, I will check it out. Not too different than the one I make too.
Oh my yum! I still have to try the cookie dough.
This is quite possibly the most delicious looking milkshake EVER. I love the photos too!
Awww thank you!!!
Caramel apple is exactly what I was going to say! Because I love them and I think that sounds absolutely incredible to turn them into a milkshake. I add unsweetened coconut milk to all of my smoothies now because they make for nice thick shakes without using any silly gums
And for only 10 extra calories per cup than unsweetened almond milk, it’s fine by me!
red velvet!!!
Those straws are too cute – I have them in pink!
When I read ur post about fishs eddy I immediately decided I needed to make a “detour” next time I am in pennsylvania visiting family. Let’s work on bringing one to Tx!
What about a snickers inspired milkshake? Peanuts…caramel… Chocolate…yum!
And I agree with cait… The straws are too cute.
Heck yeah, they need to expand. And Texas is THE place to be. Well, not really… but if a place like FE came, it would be
.
chocolate,esp…chocolate mint would be an amazing milkshake flavor,or chocolate brownie,etc.I always find that the hardest part of eating healthy is findig desserts that taste great and not some watered down version :/ im thinking cashews {or other raw nut] would make a thicker base thats more true to a milkshake.
This looks amazing! My dad is a big peanut butter lover so I’ll have to make this for him! And you take such gorgeous photographs!! These look great! I would love to see both a red velvet flavor and tiramisu… I mean, why choose?!
Mmm how about a red velvet tiramisu milkshake?!
Omg, YES. PLEASE!
pumpkin spice, apple cider… my mind is in full autumn mode clearly!
I would loveee to see a PB&J milkshake… not that this one doesn’t look fabulous enough!
That. Shake. Looks. Amazing!!!!!! I think a pumpkin-chocolate-brownie milkshake would be delicious as well…Maybe I will have to get in my kitchen and experiment:)
Good milkshake flavors? Chocolate chip cookie milkshake, hot fudge brownie milkshake, coconut & chocolate milkshake, oatmeal & peanut butter milkshake, peaches & plum milkshake (w/ topping, of course
, banana + almond + chocolate milkshake, cherry almond milkshake, honey + peach milkshake, zucchini bread milkshake(?!), cherry oatmeal milkshake, cherry rhubarb milkshake, pumpkin milkshake, banana + chai milkshake, raspberry + almond + chocolate milkshake, cookies ‘n cream milkshake, red velvet cupcake milkshake…err…honestly, I think I should stop listing now, or else it may get out of control! (I got these from my Recipes board on Pinterest, by the way 
-http://cupcakes-music-fashion.blogspot.com
Oatmeal and pb? That sounds so yummy! Like a warm oatmeal cookie!
Good milkshake flavors? Well, you seem to be doing just fine on your own there, my dear
I love the pictures with it just oozing over the top. “Action shots” even though nothing is really happening is such an art with food photography and you nailed these!
And as I said on Jenna’s blog, love you, and so happy to have seen one of your amazing recipes featured on her site!
Hmm…cannoli – or carrot cake! yes yes definitely carrot cake!
hell yeaaaaaaz, im liking this right here. big healthy glass full of peanut butter cookie dough goodness <3
xoxo
Yea that milkshake does NOT need an explanation! I think any of those flavors would make amazing milkshakes. I think I’d like to see Red Velvet though.:)
You are trying to kill me with the PB cookie dough! I was trying not to make them again (so I wouldn’t eat them all!), but now I have no choice!
Oh do not fear! Just invite me over and your leftover cookies will be gone faster than you can say “who stole my chocolate?”
(Which, by the way, would be me as well.)
Sounds incredible! Can you move in? I’m at school waiting until it’s time to leave, drooling because I need to get home and make dinner (and dessert) and this is not helping my case!
I’ll move in… but I’m warning you: you might want to lock up your chocolate
.
All of your milkshakes look (and taste!) fantastic, but this one looks even more ridiculous than usual. I think a strawberries and cream milkshake would taste good, kinda like strawberry shortcake.
Oooo I have a really good recipe for one! I want to post it, but I keep forgetting to take a photo every time I make it!
Tiramisu sounds fun!! This milkshake looks Aaaa…mazing!! Oh my gosh..I love anything cookie dough…alone or in a milkshake..perfect little treat!!
WOW. This looks SO good!!!! It’s a good thing I froze some ripe bananas yesterday! And I am for any smoothie…all of the one’s you make turn out fantastic anyway!
WOW. This looks SO good!!!! It’s a good thing I froze some ripe bananas yesterday! And I am for any smoothie…all of the ones you make turn out fantastic anyway!
Pardon the double post…
Aww no worries… getting to hear from you twice can’t be a bad thing
.
That photo makes me want one so bad. I totally eat with my eyes. I’ll take a red velvet one, please
BTW, did you see what Hayden and I did with Larabars today (http://rawdorable.blogspot.com/2011/09/back-to-snack-and-play-too.html)? Oh, and we also mentioned your contest in my post. When does it end?
That’s crazy, I just made this in “icecream” form last night for my husband and me! It was amazingly good… I threw in some chocolate chips too!
Oh man, shake flavors? Kuromitsu and Kinako powder for a warabimochi milkshake!! That’s my vote. Lol, here, links so you can know what those are, respectively.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuromitsu
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinako
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warabimochi
Oh great, now I can’t think straight either.
Can’t wait to try this! My vote is for red velvet!!!! That would be FUN!
PUMPKIN PIE. PUMPKIN PIE.
That’s a beauuutiful picture girl. Still waiting for that wonderful photog post
)
Definitely one will be up next week!
I’ve done your chocolate cake batter milkshake with shredded coconut and some All Bran all in the blender…chocolate cream pie shake!
Wow, that sounds awesome! Thanks so much for sharing such a yummy idea… I’m going to have to try it!
OMG sounds sooo good katie!!!!
Oh hell, hell yes…
Thank you, thank you, thank you…
The flavours you mention sound drool-worthy! I think Mississippi Mud Pie would also make a great flavour – and a healthified version would be incredibly fitting to appear on a Chocolate-Covered healthy dessert blog
I just discovered your blog today off of Jenna’s blog today, and I am SO excited about it! This milkshake looks like a party in my mouth. I also cannot wait to try the bazillion other amazing looking recipes you’ve shared!
I am so so happy you found me! Anyone who uses the word “bazillion” is awesome in my book
.
Gasp! I LOVE those straws…I need to get me some for my photos! Where’d you get them?
See the link that says “my favorite dish store”
They were only like $4 for a giant package!
this looks amazing! love the straws! a raspberry- coconut- mocha- with dark and white chocolate- cheesecake milkshake would be epic-all my favorite things in one glass!
Loving your blog!! How about a ‘button’ we can press to print out the recipes? Are you on twitter? your link did not connect. XOXO
Hmm… that’s weird! It connects for me
.
I’m at @ChocCoveredKT.
I would love to learn how to do a “print this” for my recipes. I’m working on it! (I am so slow with all this technology stuff!)
I am a smidge confused with this recipe…are the PB cookies supposed to be blended in (with extra to crumble on top) OR are the PB cookies JUST for crumbling on top??
You can do either, really. In fact, you don’t need the cookies at all if you don’t want to include them or if you’re pressed for time. You really can’t go wrong
.
This is funny! I actually made a milkshake last night exactly like this (only I used PB+Chocolate blondie crumbs) Great minds think alike I guess
Great minds eat alike!!
You know my go-to dessert inspiration–Almond Joys!
This looks incredible! I loooove PB flavored dishes!!! So yum!!!
Ooooh peanut butter cookie dough.. I have a container of it in the refrigerator that I’ve been gnawing at. It would be much healthier if I made your cookies and made this milkshake to go with it!
I once had a cupcake milkshake where the cupcake was blended right into it. It was surprisingly good!
Tiramisu!!!!!! Before going vegan, I used to drink a frozen tiramisu and it was d i v i n e. I would love to have a vegan version =]
Oh man that looks heavenly!!! Maybe a pumpkin pie milkshake just in time for Fall?
Peanut butter cookie dough milkshake = talking my language.
This milk shake looks like heaven!! ( I haven’t been there but that’s how I imagine it lol)
Coconut cream pie milk shake! I’m obsessed with coconut
Mmm yes, I want to do a coconut cream pie shake! Or oh heck, just a coconut cream pie. I need to dig up my old recipe! Coconut is the best!
Holy Yum! This sounds sooooo good, katie! The caramel apple is sure to be good, as well! Perfect for the upcoming weather
I might have to try this for breakfast tommorow!
Hi Katie! I made this shake for breakfast and it’s so delicious (even without the PB cookie dough cookie)! Thanks so much for the recipe! Next time I need to make some of those cookies to crumble on top.
Hey Stephanie!! I am so so excited you tried it! Also, I love your blog name!
Thanks Katie! I honestly can say that every one of your recipes that I have tried I have thoroughly enjoyed.
I also made your Single-Serving Blueberry Muffin recently and loved it (even microwaved). 
Thank you for all the work you put into your blog and recipes!
PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DOUGH?!?!?! In a MILKSHAKE!!!!!
Haha, you have hit a weak spot.
WOW! This looks absolutely stunning! I just want to reach right in to the photo and take it! Yum!
Aww thank you so much!!
Drooling over this. I want to lick the screen!!!
Thank you! I could say the same about your birthday pancakes!
.
And it’s actually my birthday today… now I want your beautiful pancakes
MMMM!!!! SO good!!! I made it for my lunch and when my family tasted it, they BEGGED me to make them some!! Great recipe!!! (although, I did find out I am alergic to anything peanuts. Waa!!!!! :’( But I decided a few rashes and some aches were worth this!!!)
SO excited you made it! Hmmm… maybe try it with almond or cashew butter next time?

this sounds heavenly (:
This looks delicious! My kids and I love peanut butter, I will be giving this a try tomorrow!
RED VELVET! RED VELVET!
Ok, this was over-the-top delicious! I used a lot of restraint this week saving my last bit of peanut butter dough until the banana was ripe enough and then freeze. But I am SO happy that I did! This was my snack this afternoon and I’m glad I’m out of dough and frozen bananas because I need to fit into my jeans tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
this. is. good.
Hey Katie, wanting to make this, but I’m allergic to bananas…
What can I replace it with?
Thank you!
I’m not sure, as I’ve only tried it with banana… maybe mango or pear? Or cooked sweet potato? Or just leave the banana out and add sweetener?
Made this today too… sooooooo incredibly yummy!
Oh, and FYI: I’m a PB junkie. And now I’m addicted to your blog! I’m already ooking for ideas on what to make tomorrow for my family =)
I unfortunately do not have the raisins (or dates or prunes or anything!) on hand to make the raw cookie dough cookies, but this is my little trick to get a smoothie to taste like a real milkshake, and it would definitely work with most of your milkshake flavors. I pretty much just take all the other ingredients you have listed and in place of the cookie dough, I add in a protein powder (one that tastes really good and not some green crap, which I do take occasionally when I get lazy about juicing, but I would never waste products on trying to turn it into a smoothie, lol). I use EAS whey protein, which I know is not vegan, but a vanilla or chocolate flavored rice protein could easily be subbed. (And in that case, I would suggest using the tip you gave, Katie, on adding in some whole-fat coconut milk as the rice protein is going to be more starchy and not as rich as whey.)
So like for this shake, I take a banana I have already sliced and frozen and blend it with vanilla-flavored almond milk (which I’ve also had in the freezer not until frozen, but until either slightly slushy or at least very, very cold), 1 Tbsp. of creamy peanut butter, a pinch of sea salt, and sometimes a very scant pinch of nutmeg. I blend all of that, minus the protein powder, until smooth and then stick it back into the freezer for about 30-45 minutes. Again, it’s going to get slushy along the top but not completely frozen. Then…pull it out again and add in the protein this time. I only use half a scoop and then re-blend for at least 90 seconds. You’ll watch the smoothie-shake just continue to increase in volume and become thicker and creamier. Then it’s ready to enjoy! But it’s important not to skip out on putting the smoothie back into the freezer before adding the protein. This allows you to whip the buh-jeezus out of it and not heat up the contents.
