rich & creamy chocolate nut shake

serves 2

The frozen banana makes this shake rich and creamy.  If you don’t like the banana taste, half an avocado will work just as well.  The protein from the almond butter leaves you feeling satisfied and full. The maca powder is rich in mineral content and a natural hormone balancer for both men and women. Raw cacao is full of healthy antioxidants.  

If you want a little chocolate chip crunch in your shake, add 2 tablespoons of raw cacao nibs at the end and blitz for 5 – 10 seconds.

2 Tbsp raw cacao or cocoa powder

  1. Place the banana, cacao powder, almond butter, maca powder, maple syrup, almond milk, and a pinch of salt in the blender. Mix at high speed until you have a smooth consistency.
