Chocolate Shake

I am currently on day 15 of my sugar detox(including alcohol) - 6 more to go!! So many people have thought I am crazy for wanting to do this around the holidays. My response has been - is there ever a good time to take health into your own hands?  There will always be an event or party to attend that will involve eating sweets/desserts, drinking vino or your beverage of choice.  There is no time like the present to make yourself feel great.  After cutting sugars out the first week I felt a little off but my body is feeling great and energetic naturally despite having had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled this past Wednesday.  I haven't had ccaffeine since 11/30 but yesterday I had it in the form of 2oz of black coffee mixed with coconut milk.  I didn't crave it, but rather thought it might be good together.  It was mighty tasty! ;)

Ingredients:

• 1 medium banana (I used an unripened one as the 21day sugar detox I am following allows this on occasion)
• 2T unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 t vanilla extract
• 1c cold filtered water
• 1-2T Hemp Seeds (Grind Prior to adding into blender w/ a coffee grinder or just toss into the vitamix if you have a blender of this caliber)
• 1/2-1c Full Fat Coconut Milk (Don't be afraid to eat healthy full fats - they can help you lose weight)

Directions:

• Add all ingredients into blender/vitamix as mentioned above and blend until smooth.
• Pour into your travel container or glass

• Enjoy!
