Chocolate Peanut Shake/Ice Cream



Serves 1-2

Ingredients:
  1. 3 Tbs organic peanuts
  2. 2 Tbs raw cacao or dark cocoa powder
  3. 3 Medjool dates (available at Costco or the bulk section of your health food store)
  4. 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  5. 1-2 cups ice
  6. 1-2 cups vanilla hemp milk (available at health food stores)
Directions:
  • In a blender, place the pitted dates, peanuts, cocoa powder and vanilla.  If you don't have a high speed blender, you may want to chop your dates and give this a quick pulse now.  
  • Add ice and pour hemp milk over the ice.  If making this as an ice cream, then add less milk and more ice.  If you want to make a shake, then add less ice and more hemp milk.   Don't worry, you won't get high off hemp, but you will get some really amazing benefits; omega fats and protein, just to name a few.
  • Blend to your desired consistency (I like mine a little bit chunky) and serve.


~Tastes just like a very popular candy bar!~

  1. Thanks for the recipes. I haven't made any of yours yet, but I'm about to start! On this one do you use roasted or raw peanuts? Thanks! ~ Suzy
