Instructions
Smoothie
- Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth and keep in fridge.
Coconut Cream Whip
- Place coconut milk tin in fridge over night as this hardens the thick layer, making it better for whipping.
- Scoop the thick layer from the coconut milk tin and empty into a medium sized bowl.
- Using a hand whisk, whip the hardened layer for approx 30 seconds until creamy.
- Add the icing sugar and vanilla and whisk again for just under 60 seconds.
Assembling
- Pour streaks of strawberry sauce on the inside edges of a mason jar (with a handle) or jam jar. You can also use chocolate sauce too.
- Then pour the smoothie liquid into the glass but leave a couple centimeters at the top/free.
- Spoon the coconut cream whip on top as piled high as you can.
- Top with any of the toppings of your choice. (The freakshake featured includes vegan cookie, strawberry, popcorn and shimmer sprinkles).
- Finish off with more strawberry and chocolate sauce…go as crazy as you like!

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference!
