Recipe: Chocolate Maca Milkshake

/

Hello Summer! 

Our days fill with bikes rides in the sunshine, time spent lounging at the beach, trips to the farmer's market to load up on fresh fruits and vegetables, and of course a few trips to our favourite ice cream parlours! I am loving all of the dairy-free options Vancouver has to offer but sometimes that ice cream craving hits and you don't want to leave your lovely air conditioned home. This recipe is perfect for those times. Hello, Chocolate Maca Milkshake. It's...

Dairy-free
Loaded with antioxidants and superfoods
Free of refined sugars

Recipe: Chocolate Maca Milkshake

Ingredients:

  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 1 cup of almond milk
  • 1 tbsp. almond butter 
  • 2 tsp. cacao powder
  • 2 tsp. maca powder
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. cacao nibs (optional for topping) 

Directions:

  • Blend all ingredients together until desired consistency reached. Add ice or additional frozen banana to thicken, or additional almond milk to thin.
  • Top with cacao nibs. 

Cacao and Maca are the superfoods in this recipe. Cacao contains over 300 phytochemicals and is full of antioxidants which are great for fighting against free-radical damage in our bodies. Maca is a superfood which is said to boost libido and helps to stabilize hormone inbalances.

Enjoy!
