Sometimes when I'm taking photos, my kids will run over and pop their heads right into my photo :) This is one of her favorite raw milkshakes, and it really hits the spot when you are craving a thick and creamy shake. I don't always make it 100% raw, sometimes I use Almond Breeze for the nut milk but using the raw nut milk definitely delivers more of a "wow factor" to the tastebuds.
This shake comes from my Uncooking 101 Jump Start, with some adaptations. I use less nut butter than the original recipe and I use cocao nibs to make it like a chocolate chip shake. You can find raw cocao nibs at your local health food store. Check the bulk section for the best prices. If you live in the Orlando area, you can get them at Hoover's Market in Apopka.
Banana and Nut-Butter "Milkshake"
Makes 1 large Nut Milkshake
Ingredients
2 Frozen organic bananas (use frozen for an extra thick shake)
2 tbsp of raw nut butter (I use Woodstock brand Raw Unsalted Almond Butter)
1 cup nut milk (DIY Cashew Milk, Almond Milk or store bought Almond Breeze)
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp Cocao nibs
Instructions
Blend until smooth, then top with cinnamon.
A tip on storing raw nut butters and nuts- they will last a lot longer if you keep them all in the refrigerator! If you find they are getting too hard to scoop out, you are keeping your refrigerator set a too cold of a setting. I also like to drain the oil off the top of my nut butters. There's plenty of fat in the butter, no need to keep the extra oil :)
