Chocolate Coconut Hemp Shake

This afternoon’s snack that I whipped up for Bob.  He took one slurp and said it tasted just like a chocolate shake, as though it were ice cream.

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp  Hemp seed
• 1 1/2 tbsp Raw Cacao
• 8-10 oz nut milk of your liking
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 1 Tbsp organic coconut flakes
• 2 Tbsp organic raw peanut butter
• 1 frozen banana, ripe
• 1 Tbsp agave or honey (could use dates as well)
  

Preparation:

1. Blend Hemp seed with about 1 oz of water.
2. Once fully blended, add remaining ingredients and blend until everything is incorporated.
3. If you don’t have any frozen bananas, go ahead and use fresh bananas but add in some ice.

*** Tip: Ripe Bananas – Buy bananas that are covered in brown spots, not bruises. Peel, place in zip-lock and freeze ahead of time for smoothies !
