Servings 1 (shake)
Ingredients
SHAKE
- 1 large ripe banana (previously peeled, sliced and frozen // 1 large banana equals ~200 g)
- 2 Tbsp salted natural peanut butter (if unsalted, add a pinch of salt)
- 1-2 pitted dates (if not sticky and moist, soak in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain)
- 1 Tbsp cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1-1 ½ cups dairy-free milk (plain, unsweetened // we used Almond Breeze Almondmilk Original Unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup ice (optional)
ADD-INS optional
- 1 Tbsp cacao nibs for “chocolate chip” effect (blend in or use as topping)
- 1 Tbsp flax or hemp seeds (for added nutrition)
- Dairy-free chocolate sauce (for drizzling inside glass)
- Coconut whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except almond milk to the blender. Add in almond milk 1/2 cup at a time, adding only enough to allow the ingredients to blend together. Add more for a thinner shake and less for a thicker shake.
- Taste and adjust flavors, adding more banana or dates for sweetness, cacao for chocolate flavor, and peanut butter for saltiness. Optional: Add a handful of ice for extra thickness.
- Serves 1 generously (as original recipe is written). Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours. You could even freeze this into popsicles!
Notes
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with the lesser amounts of dates and almond milk and without optional ingredients.
