Chocolate Banana Shake

By jmartin

Use either organic cocoa powder or raw carob powder in this shake (or a combination of both.) Carob powder comes from the pods of carob trees that grow in the Mediterranean. Carob does not contain any of the stimulants found in cocoa and it’s high in calcium. We feel carob is hugely underappreciated, but try it in this shake and you might just prefer it to chocolate.

Ingredients

• 3 cups frozen diced bananas
• 2 cups Brazil nut or almond milk
• 1/4 cup agave nectar or 2 packets Stevia
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 heaping tablespoons organic cocoa powder or carob powder
• Pinch of sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

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