Ingredients

  • 8 oz water – you can add more if you like a thinner drink
  • 2 TBL Raw Cacao
  • 1 TBL Maca
  • 1 TBL Gogi powder
  • 1 tsp raw honey
  • 2 Medjool dates (pits removed)
  • 1/4 about 1/4 cup of cashews – makes it thick and creamy
  • dash or two cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Blend in blender.

Other notes: I like the taste of the dates, but you can add more honey in place of the dates, or use raw agave if you prefer. I tried using stevia, but I didn’t like it as much.

In place of the cashews, you can use 2 TBL of coconut butter. However, I prefer the more neutral taste of the cashews. You could also use raw almond milk if you have that on hand. I’m basically making a nut milk by tossing in the cashews.

I suppose you could blend in soaked gogi berries instead of using the powder. I’ve never tried it so I can’t tell you how it would taste.

The cayenne adds a bit of a kick, a little heat in the background (a little trick in the raw food genre), which I really like here and I don’t generally like hot foods.
