Need a Date...Shake? This recipe came to life when one of my favorite local eateries @roam_burgers added a Banana Walnut Chocolate Chip Milkshake to their menu. I wanted one so badly. It was literally the first thing that came to mind after my 5-mile walk but I knew the after effect would be a potential tummy ache and subsequent sugar crash, losing all the benefits of my hard-earned miles.
Instead, I got to work on this dairy-free, refined sugar-free version that will knock your socks off and lead your cravings in a happy, guilt-free direction. With just a short list of whole food ingredients, including:
coconut milk
banana
Medjool dates
cacao nibs
vanilla extract
Ceylon cinnamon
And the nutritional benefits include a healthy dose of:
vitamins & minerals
phytonutrients
antioxidants
anti-inflammatory
healthy fat
complex carbohydrates
plant-based protein
...and fiber!!!
All that in a delicious drink. And it's so simple...
