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 to 1 1/2 cups 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!
