Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup banana (really ripe, frozen)
  • 3 cups almond milk
  • 1 Tbsp maca powder
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of himalayan or celtic sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp cacao powder (wait & add to second half)
  • cacao nibs (sprinkle, for garnish)
  • stevia (to taste)

Method
 

  1. Blend all the ingredients, EXCEPT the cacao powder and garnish, in a heavy duty blender (such as a Vitamix) until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour half the mixture into two glasses to form the bottom, strawberry colored layer.
  3. Add cacao to remaining mixture in Vitamix and blend.
  4. Pour 2nd half over 1st layer into glasses using a large soup spoon to direct the layers toward the edges of the of the glass, turning the glass as you pour to achieve a complete top chocolate layer. DON’T pour right into the middle of the glass or the 2nd layer will totally disappear into the strawberry layer. Just go slowly and do your best. No matter what it looks like, it will be amazingly delicious.
  5. Garnish with a sprinkling of cacao nibs & two straws. Trot yourself back upstairs and snuggle under the covers with your sweetie to enjoy your treats.
