The lovely Valentina from myveganvalentine.wordpress.com has nominated me to take part in the Hydrate & Donate challenge where you drink a vegan beverage and then donate to an animal charity of your choice. As I haven’t posted a recipe for a while, I thought why not take part and also create a yummy new recipe for the blog!?

I initially tried to video myself doing this challenge but turns out my video making skills leave a lot to be desired, so instead here’s a picture of me aptly wearing my The Tree Kisser ‘Adopt’ top with my Banana Cinnamon milkshake pre-challege and a print screen of my text donation to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. I chose to donate to Battersea because as you all know I absolutely love dogs and Battersea are an amazing charity who care for around 9,000 dogs and cats each year. If you’d like to donate to Battersea too, simply text DOGS to 70800. By the way, don’t be alarmed by the bare brick walls in the picture below, I’m not writing to you from prison, just from my extremely glamorous uni halls ▷►▹▸

Now, onto the recipe… I have been having major milkshake cravings recently, so I decided to create a healthier (and yummier) twist on the traditional banana milkshake. Cravings Satisfied. This milkshake has become my new favourite and it is so quick and easy to make so I am really excited to share the recipe with you all ▷►▹▸
