Whether you are looking healthy dessert ideas or want to take your post workout snack to the next level, this one’s for you! This recipe has been created by Amanda, one of our fans here in Omaha!
This dairy free freakshake combines classic flavour combinations of banana, caramel, nuts and chocolate. It’s packed with fibre and 41g of protein per serve, plus all the goodness of oob organic bananas, with the option to indulge in a drizzle of toasty coconut caramel to complete the picture.
We went dairy free for this one but you can alternate with delicious organic dairy milk + yogurt options which is really tasty too. Make the batches of brownie bites and coconut caramel ahead of time, these can be kept in fridge until you are ready to construct your organic freakshake.
Reduce wasting fresh bananas by keeping some oob organic frozen banana in your freezer, and just use only what you need when you’re in the mood for a Caramel Banana Split Freakshake.

Toasty Coconut Caramel
- 100 ml coconut milk

Assembly

- Prepare your Banana-Nut Smoothie divide this into the two garnished glasses. Pop these in fridge as you prepare your nice cream.
- Prepare your Banana Nice Cream, and place a good dollop of this on top of the Banana-Nut Smoothie as desired. Balance a brownie bite on the edge of the glass, using some caramel or melted chocolate to secure.
- Time to bring this bad boy home… drizzle with coconut caramel and finish with some chopped nuts of your choice (we used 3 x organic raw almonds).
