Chocolate Banana Almond Butter Shake [Recipe]

I found this via one of my classmates' Pinterest boards yesterday and made it this morning after my 3-miler. It is really yummy, and once again, customizable. The original recipe did not call for cocoa, but I added it anyway. You can probably add protein powder if you are so inclined, but as a paleo/clean-eater I prefer not to do that.

Pics to come. I devoured this bad boy wayyyy too fast to get a pic of it this morning! It is very delicious and only takes about 5 minutes to prepare. I'll probably be enjoying this bad boy all week for breakfast since I'm always running late in the morning.

Ingredients:

  • One large banana
  • 6 oz unsweetened original almond milk
  • 1 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 TBSP raw almond butter (if going paleo--should contain only raw almonds or pasteurized raw almonds on the ingredients list)
  • 6-10 ice cubes (depends on how slushy-like you want it--I used 6 and it was just a little thicker than milk--just the way I like it)
  • 1 Stevia in the raw packet
Directions
  1. Add all ingredients to blender and blend. The end. 
Makes about 10oz give or take
