It’s sweetened with bananas and dates (both high in fiber), so it has zero added sugar, yet it’s lush and decadent. Tastes like dessert. I also added almond or peanut butter for creaminess and healthy fats, maca powder for an extra dose of nutrition, coconut yogurt (great for your gut) and carob powder. Carob powder tastes like toasted caramel and is what makes this smoothie special. Hope you don’t skip it. It has some incredible health benefits too. And for the record, it does not taste like chocolate. So, if you’ve tried it in the past as a chocolate substitute, chances are, you didn’t like it. Hope you give it another go. It’s truly delicious when you are not comparing it to cacao. This vegan smoothie is so sweet and luscious it can be a nourishing breakfast, a sweet snack or a healthy dessert. It’s a great way to start the day and it will keep energized for hours. **If you try this delicious smoothie recipe, let us know what you think.

This will soften them. If you have a high-speed blender, you can skip this step. - Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. - Enjoy! ### Notes * Frozen bananas make creamy, delicious smoothies. Bananas need to be frozen for at least 8 hours. I like to keep a stash of frozen bananas in my freezer so I can make smoothies whenever I want (all the time, actually). Peel them, cut them in half, and store them in an airtight container. The riper the bananas, the tastier and sweeter the smoothie. Green bananas = bland smoothies. ** I love Medjool dates, they actually taste like caramel, but they can be pretty expensive. So, if you want to keep this smoothie budget-friendly, Deglet Noor dates (what you might know as regular dates) work great. ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2022/10/21/vegan-caramel-smoothie/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2022%2F10%2F21%2Fvegan-caramel-smoothie%2F) to post a comment.
