RAW: CHOCOLATE BANANA SHAKE

 

 

 

 

Hope everyone's morning is going well!  When I am craving some chocolately goodness, I LOVE making this chocolate shake.  It's simple, but sooo good.  I alway, always try to keep a stash of frozen bananas in the freezer.  When you use frozen bananas in a shake no one can fault it.  It makes any smoothie or shake rich and creamy.  You never know when you want to make some kind of creamy goodness.

 

This recipe serves 2 to 4

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

3 cups frozen bananas

2 cups almond milk or your favorite nut milk

1/4 cup agave nectar (or 2 packets of stevia)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 heaping tablespoons of organic raw cacao powder or carob powder

pinch of sea salt

 

In a blender puree all the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

 

Enjoy!!

 

 

 

 

 

PEACHES & CREAM SHAKE

Raw Peach Shake

In the spirit of summer and all things peaches, I’ve been getting my fill of the fuzzy fruit.   It started with a raw peach cobbler that I found here.  I have been buying peaches by the flat so I’ve been putting them in everything, and this peach shake is no exception.   I have always enjoyed milk shakes, but I always feel so guilty afterwards.  Now this is a great shake with no guilt! It’s so yum it feels wrong!  

 

Here are the Deets!

PEACHES AND CREAM SHAKE

3 ripe peaches (peeled)

1 frozen banana (I like to use a smaller banana or 1/2 of a larger one, so that the banana tastes doesn't overpower the peaches)

1 cup of spinach

1 cup of cashew milk (or another nut milk)

**Note: This would also be great with nectarines.
 

Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until creamy.  

Enjoy!

Makes 1 generous serving approximately 2 cups.
