Nestled in Hollywood Studios is a hidden gem for dairy-free connoisseurs. The Hollywood Sci-Fi Dine in Theater creates the illusion of sitting under the night sky in a classic car, while you enjoy early Sci-Fi film clips. However, it is not listed on the regular menu that there are dairy free offerings. You must ask your server for an allergy friendly menu. Not every Disney park restaurant offers a dairy free alternative but you will definitely not have FOMO if you try their dairy free milkshake option. The non-dairy offerings are a traditional chocolate milkshake, vanilla and cookies and cream flavor.

It’s a shame that you can’t order from the My Disney Experience App and have this sent straight to your living room. The next best thing is a way for you to make this work of science fiction at home! We have included different versions so you can suit your pantry and diet! Even for those of you who are not dairy-free you will be fooled that this recipe isn’t made with ice cream!

Dairy Free Sci-Fi Dine In THeater MilkShake Recipe

NON-DAIRY MILKSHAKE INGREDIENTS:

• 8oz Your Choice of non-dairy milk 

Recommended brands: Unsweetened Milkadamia Milk or Unsweetened So Delicious Coconut Milk

• 2 Scoops non-dairy ice cream of your choice. 

Recommended So Delicious brand coconut milk, chocolate peanut butter flavor. The Sci-fi Dine In Theater features the Tofutti brand in their version. 

YOU WILL NEED:

A blender for this recipe

TO MAKE:

1. Place your non-dairy ice cream in the blender. 

2. Add your non dairy milk.

3. Blend until smooth.

4. Pour into your cup & enjoy!

HEALTHIER VERSION:

If you swap out the non-dairy ice cream for a frozen banana it will still taste amazing and have a milkshake consistency but no sugar added!

• 1 Frozen Banana 

• 1 TBS of cacao powder

• 1 TBS of almond butter

• 8 oz of non-dairy milk of your choice 

TO MAKE:

1. Place your frozen banana in the blender. 

2. Add your non dairy milk, cacao & almond butter.

3. Blend until smooth.

4. Pour into your cup & enjoy!

PRO TIP:

If you would like to add some protein try a non-dairy protein drink like the Dark Chocolate Rebbl brand. This adds a velvety richness of chocolate flavor without adding a lot more sugar!  Follow the same recipe as the original and just swap your milks. You can get away with only 1 scoop of ice cream for the same rich flavor! If you would like to follow the healthy version with the protein drink, just omit the cacao.

SET THE MOOD

Create the mood of the Dine In theater by enjoying a viewing of a sci-fi show on Disney Plus. There isn’t anything quite like the classic clips you would see at the Sci-Fi Dine in Theater. A  good sci-fi alternative is a viewing of some episodes of the Disney Channel series “So Weird”. You will definitely be transported to the world of unexplained science fiction happenings while you enjoy your out of this world milkshake!
