Low Histamine Coconut Milkshake

Jump to Recipe

This refreshing coconut milkshake is made with dairy-free coconut ice cream and full-fat coconut milk for a rich, velvety texture. It’s free from common histamine triggers like chocolate, citrus, or aged dairy, making it a safe option for those with histamine intolerance. Easy to blend in 5 minutes, it’s sweet, smooth, and indulgent—without causing histamine spikes.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 cup dairy-free coconut-based vanilla ice cream: look for brands like So Delicious with no carrageenan or gums.
• 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk: creamy and naturally sweet, use BPA-free canned versions.
• 1 cup ice cubes: thickens and chills the milkshake.
• Optional vegan whipped cream: only if free from soy, gums, and preservatives.
• Optional toasted coconut flakes: adds crunch and tropical flavor.

How To Make Low Histamine Coconut Milkshake:

1. Blend Ingredients:
In a high-speed blender, combine coconut vanilla ice cream, full-fat coconut milk, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2. Taste and Adjust:
Taste the milkshake. Add more coconut milk for a thinner texture, or more ice cream to thicken.

3. Serve:
Pour into glasses and top with coconut flakes or clean whipped topping if desired. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips:

• Use additive-free coconut milk in BPA-free cans.
• Pick a dairy-free ice cream with minimal ingredients—avoid gums and soy.
• Check whipped cream labels carefully—many have thickeners or preservatives.
• Always serve fresh to avoid histamine buildup from melting and sitting.

How to Store & Reheat:

• Room Temperature: Not recommended—drink immediately.
• Fridge: Avoid storing—texture and histamine levels change quickly.
• Freezer: Not recommended—may become icy or separate.
