Who doesn't love chocolate milkshake? It's been a favourite of mine ever since I was little. Unfortunately most shop bought milkshakes are loaded with refined sugar, additives and preservatives so after changing my diet to a natural, whole-food diet I didn't think it would be something I would ever drink again. UNTIL, I was playing around with smoothie creations one day and I accidentally developed a chocolate milkshake - which turned out to be a VERY pleasant accident! :)
This healthy version tastes just like a traditional milkshake and is made up of just a few natural ingredients. It's free from dairy and sweetened only with natural fruit that mother nature intended us to eat!
It's a really delicious, sustainable snack that you can take with you when on the go which will provide your body with plenty of fuel and unlike traditional milkshakes, it won't spike your blood sugar levels causing that sugar crash slump!

Ingredients:
1 cup of cashews
1 cup of cashews
1 tbsp. raw cacao powder
4 medjool dates
1 tbsp. natural vanilla extract / vanilla powder
1/2 cup of cashew milk - I used Plenish
1 cup of water
Pinch of salt
2 ice cubes - optional
Soak the cashews in a bowl of water for at least 1 hour or overnight, drain the water and rinse well.
Add the soaked cashews and all other ingredients, apart from the ice, into a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into a glass and add the ice to create a creamy, chocolate milkshake!
Tip: Add a little more water or nut milk if you prefer your milkshake less thick. If you don't have any nut milk, this recipe will also work without it - just add a few more soaked cashews.
