1This is a delicious, somewhat 811-compatible version of a chocolate milkshake! So good!
Ingredients:
1-2 T hemp seeds (I use 2T, but feel free to reduce or omit altogether)
2 frozen bananas, broken into chunks
1/4 c fresh mint
leaves (any kind works, lemon balm is particularly nice!)
1/2 T raw cocoa or carob powder
1/2-1 tsp maca powder
1-2 c water
Preparation:
Blend hemp seeds and 1 c water on high until frothy (this makes hemp milk; if you have hemp milk around, just use that instead of the hemp seeds + water).
Add bananas, mint, cocoa powder and maca.
Blend until smooth, adding additional water only as necessary and to yield desired consistency.
Garnish with more fresh mint and enjoy!!

1. The stylish Nightfall boot is
The stylish Nightfall boot is made with twin-faced sheepskin Uggs Canada and a durable molded rubber outsole. The wrap around lace feature adds a fashionable Ugg Canada Boots touch with wooden beads at the end. A removable and replaceable sheepskin insole Uggs Classic Short gives extra comfort and warmth. A beautiful new version of the classic Sundance boot, the Short Ugg Boots Sale will keep you warm and stylish.
2. I just made this. Delicious!
I just made this. Delicious! Try it with about a 1/2 tablespoon of Lacuma as well as the Maca. My goodness.
3. Using the flesh and water
Using the flesh and water from young Thai coconuts instead of so much banana reduces the fructose and makes it really creamy, coconutty, and not so overly sweet (much lower glycemic level!).
4. thanks, guys!! yes, so many
thanks, guys!! yes, so many of the milkshake-like recipes are really nut heavy. this can be made very low fat easily too by omitting the hemp seeds (maybe putting in a little more banana) but I like to include em for some omega 3s. also, i've played around a bit using no mint. it's delicious simply without it, but i've also added strawberries, raspberries, etc. also considered orange peel.
5. aaah yes! I greatly
aaah yes! I greatly appreciate this being nut-free, don't like mint so I will try it sans leaves. I can't wait! :)
