Raw Cacao Milkshake

from Angela’s kitchen 

I’m going to tell you something because no one else will. You deserve a milkshake. You deserve a milkshake that isn’t going to send you onto a blood sugar roller coaster and mess with your healthy flora. You deserve this milkshake. A perfect treat on a day when you want a nourishing clean energy boost. 

Raw cacao is beneficial in so many ways. Not only does it contain phenylethylamine which helps boost happy hormones, it’s also loaded with magnesium. A large percentage of the population is deficient in magnesium but it’s important for healthy digestion and a relaxed nervous system, so drink up!  

Ingredients 

Serves 1 

1 cup coconut milk 

1 tablespoon raw cacao powder 

½ teaspoon vanilla 

1 teaspoon cinnamon 

1 frozen banana  (or banana and add in ice)

1 tablespoon of raw honey or stevia 

 ***for a hormone bonus you could add Maca as well

***for extra protein bonus add in chocolate protein powder or collagen

Directions 

Add all the ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth. 

When you’re gut health is off kilter it’s important not to overload your body with sugar. That’s where recipes like these come in. You can’t just flip a switch and never want a milkshake again, so it becomes about creating healthy substitutions to unhealthy foods.  

Sugar feeds bad bacteria and candida in your gut and promotes digestive distress and hormonal issues. The more you can swap it out for healthy recipes like this the faster you’ll be on track to feeling amazingly energized and balanced.
