Raw Food Recipe – Chocolate Silk Shake
by Natalia KW
Who doesn’t sometimes crave a smooth, chocolaty treat? And knowing this recipe includes the addition of avocado, giving us healthy fats along with rich, creamy taste, making this to satisfy our chocolate craving is a no-brainer!
This is a super thick, luscious shake made with pure, raw ingredients. It’s so super yummy; words can hardly do it justice. Blend it up and taste for yourself!
Ingredients: (Serves 2)
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 ripe Hass Avocado
- 3/4 cup raw Cashews, preferably soaked for 1 hour, drained and rinsed
- 6 tablespoons raw Cacao Powder
- 6 tablespoons raw Honey
- 1/4 cup cold-pressed Coconut Oil
- 2 tablespoons Lucuma Powder (optional, but adds to the decadence)
- 1 Vanilla Bean
- Pinch of Himalayan Salt
- 1 tray of Ice Cubes (around 14 cubes)
Directions:
Place water, avocado, cashews, cacao, honey, coconut oil, lucuma, vanilla bean and salt in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Add ice and blend again. Divide among 2 glasses and enjoy immediately. If you have any leftover (yeah right!), this freezes beautifully into chocolate ice cream.
Enjoy!
