Ingredients
- 2 frozen bananas
- small handful of frozen raspberries
- large handful of soaked walnuts
- 1 tbsp cacao nibs
- 1 tbsp cacao powder (optional)
- 1 tsp maca powder
- small pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 tsp each of ground cardamom and ground ginger
- 3/4 cup coconut milk or almond milk, plus more if needed to thin out the shake
- bee pollen to garnish, optional
Instructions
Add all of the ingredients to your blender. Blend on high until you have a nice, thick, consistency. If you want, you can add a sprinkle of bee pollen to the top but this is completely optional.
Makes one 16-ounce shake.
Notes
- A high speed blender is key to getting a nice, smooth consistency and in this case it will completely break up and incorporate the cacao nibs and walnuts into the shake.
- The optional cacao powder will give the shake a deeper chocolate flavor (and color) but is completely optional.
- To make soaked walnuts, simply put them in a bowl, cover them with water, and let them soak for at least 6 hours. When you’re ready to use them, drain and rinse!
