Craving a creamy, chocolatey coffee treat without the dairy? This Vegan Jamocha Shake is your answer! Inspired by Arby's fast-food classic but made healthier, this chilled drink blends cold coffee, soy frozen yogurt, and dark chocolate syrup for a refreshing, protein-rich indulgence. It’s smooth, rich, and ready in just 5 minutes—no drive-thru required.

  • Completely vegan and dairy-free
  • Ready in 5 minutes with no cooking required
  • Uses simple, accessible ingredients with better nutrition
  • Perfect as a breakfast shake, snack, or dessert

  • Use strong brewed coffee or cold brew for deeper flavor.
  • Let the frozen yogurt soften slightly before blending for a smoother shake.
  • Add ice cubes if you want it extra thick and frosty.

  • Top with coconut whipped cream and extra chocolate drizzle.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate or cacao nibs.
  • Enjoy with a breakfast muffin or cookie for a full vegan coffeehouse experience.

  • Milk: Use oat, almond, or cashew milk if soy isn’t preferred.
  • Sweetener: Swap maple syrup for agave or date syrup.
  • Yogurt: Coconut-based or almond frozen yogurt work just as well.
  • Coffee-Free Version: Use roasted chicory or caffeine-free cold brew.

  • Short-Term: Best consumed fresh, but you can refrigerate it for up to 12 hours.
  • Tip: Re-blend with ice if it separates or melts.

  • Cold Brewed Coffee – Adds caffeine and bold flavor.
  • Unsweetened Soy Milk – A creamy, high-protein dairy-free base.
  • Maple Syrup – Natural sweetness with extra minerals.
  • Vanilla Bean Soy Frozen Yogurt – Luscious texture and flavor.
  • Vegan Dark Chocolate Syrup – Rich, chocolatey goodness.
  • Coconut Whipped Cream – Optional topping for extra flair.

What makes this healthier than the original Jamocha Shake?

It’s dairy-free, lower in refined sugar, and uses plant-based ingredients.

Can I make this without frozen yogurt?

Yes—use ice cubes and a splash of vanilla extract for flavor, though the texture won’t be as creamy.

Does it still have caffeine?

Yes, from the coffee. You can use decaf if you want a caffeine-free version.
